It is mentioned in the context of David's flight and Saul's pursuit. Context: Chakilah is a hill or region in the wilderness of Ziph, located in the territory of Judah. It is notably mentioned in the narrative of David's life when he was fleeing from King Saul. The wilderness of Ziph, including the hill of Chakilah, served as a refuge for David and his men. The area is characterized by its rugged terrain and strategic vantage points, making it an ideal location for hiding and evading capture. In 1 Samuel 23:19, the Ziphites informed Saul of David's whereabouts, saying, "Is not David hiding among us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah, south of Jeshimon?" (BSB). This location is significant in the biblical narrative as it highlights the ongoing conflict between Saul and David, as well as David's reliance on God's protection during his time in the wilderness.
