Usage: The term "Ziphite" is used to describe individuals from the region of Ziph, particularly in the context of the narratives involving King David. Context: The Ziphites were inhabitants of the region of Ziph, a town located in the hill country of Judah. The area is mentioned in the context of King David's flight from Saul. The Ziphites are noted for their role in betraying David to Saul, as recorded in the books of 1 Samuel. Specifically, the Ziphites informed Saul of David's whereabouts when he was hiding in the wilderness of Ziph. This act of betrayal is mentioned 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). The Ziphites' actions are also referenced in 1 Samuel 26:1, where they again report David's location to Saul. The region of Ziph is associated with the wilderness and rugged terrain, providing a natural refuge for David during his period of evasion from Saul. The narrative highlights the tension between loyalty to the reigning king and the emerging support for David as the anointed future king of Israel.
