Berean Strong's Lexicon Chakilah: Hachilah Original Word: חֲכִילָה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be dark or to wait Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Chakilah, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of refuge and hiding can be related to Greek terms such as καταφυγή (kataphygē - refuge) or κρυπτός (kryptos - hidden). Usage: Chakilah refers to a specific geographical location mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It is known as the Hill of Hachilah, a place in the wilderness of Ziph where David hid from King Saul. The term is used to denote a place of refuge and strategic advantage. Cultural and Historical Background: The Hill of Hachilah is situated in the wilderness of Ziph, an area characterized by its rugged terrain and sparse vegetation. This region was part of the tribal territory of Judah. During the time of King Saul and David, the wilderness of Ziph served as a refuge for David as he fled from Saul's pursuit. The area's natural fortifications made it an ideal hiding place for David and his men. The historical context highlights the tension between Saul and David, as well as David's reliance on God's protection during his time in the wilderness.
