Usage: The term "Ziph" is used in the context of a geographical location in the biblical narrative. It appears in the context of the historical accounts of David's life, particularly during his flight from King Saul. Context: Ziph is mentioned in the Bible as a city in the hill country of Judah. It is notably referenced in the narrative of David's escape from King Saul. The inhabitants of Ziph, known as the Ziphites, are recorded as having informed Saul of David's whereabouts, as seen in 1 Samuel 23:19: "Then the Ziphites went up to Saul at Gibeah and said, 'Is David not hiding among us in the strongholds of Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah, south of Jeshimon?'" (BSB). This act of betrayal is further recounted in 1 Samuel 26:1. The wilderness of Ziph, a rugged and desolate area, provided a strategic hiding place for David and his men. The city of Ziph is also listed among the cities fortified by Rehoboam, as recorded in 2 Chronicles 11:8. The location of Ziph is identified with the modern site of Tell Zif, situated southeast of Hebron.
