| <p> '''Se'chu.''' ''(The Watch-Tower).'' A place mentioned once only - in 1 Samuel 19:22 - apparently as lying on the route between Saul's residence, Gibeah, and Ramah, (Ramathaim-zophim), that of Samuel. It was notorious for "the great well" (or rather, cistern) which it contained. Assuming that Saul started from Gibeah, (''Tuleil El-Ful'' ), and that ''Neby Samwil'' is Ramah, then ''Bir Nebolla'' , (''The Well Of Neballa'' ), just south of Beeroth, alleged by modern traveller to contain a large pit, would be in a suitable position for the great well of Sechu. </p> | | Sechu <ref name="term_59739" /> |

| | <p> Lieut. Conder suggests (Tent Work, 2:116) that this may be represented by Khurbet Suweikeh, three and a half miles north-west of er-Rlam consisting of "walls, foundations, and heaps of stones; pieces of tessellated pavement" (Memoirs to Ordnance Survey, 3:126). </p> |

| <p> (Heb. with the art. has-Seku', .חַשְּׂכוּ '', The Watch-Tower,'' implying that the place was on or near an elevation; Sept. Σεχί v. r. Σεφεί )'','' a region in Ramah, containing a famous well (or rather cistern, בּוֹר ), which Saul passed while in pursuit of David ( 1 Samuel 19:22). ''"Assuming'' that Saul started from Gibeah (Tuleil el-Ful), and that Neby Samwil is [[Ramah]] [?], then Bir ''Neballa'' (the well of Neballa), alleged by a modern traveller (Schwarz, ''Palest.'' p. 127) to contain a large pit, would be in a suitable position for the great well of Sechu. Schwarz himself (p. 157) would identify it with ''Askar,'' on the south-east end of Mount Eba], and the well with Jacob's Well in the plain below; and [[Van]] de Velde (S. and P. ii, 53 sq.) hesitatingly places it at Shuk, in the mountains of Judah north-east of Hebron; but this they are forced into by their respective theories as to the position of Ramathaim-Zophim" (Smith). [[Sechu]] is perhaps represented by the present Khuraib er-Ram, which still contains a cistern (Robinson, Later Res. p. 287), and lies near er-Ram (Ramah) directly on the road from Tuleil el-Ful (Gibcah of Saul). </p>
