kē´sil , kes´il ( כּסיל , keṣı̄l ; A, Χασείρ , Chaseı́r ): A town in the extreme South of Judah named with Eltolad, Hormah and Ziklag ( Joshua 15:30 ). The name does not occur again. In Joshua 19:4 it is replaced by Bethul (Septuagint Βαιθήλ , Baithḗl ), and in 1 Chronicles 4:30 by Bethuel. "Chesil" may have arisen from a misreading of the text.
