Topical Lexicon Word Origin: The origin of the word צִקְלַג is uncertain. It is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a specific location.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Tsiklag, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: Tsiklag is mentioned in the context of David's refuge and activities while he was fleeing from King Saul. It is referenced in several passages, including 1 Samuel 27:6, 1 Samuel 30:1, and 2 Samuel 1:1. Context: Tsiklag was a town located in the Negev region of ancient Israel. It was originally under Philistine control and was given to David by Achish, the king of Gath, as a place of refuge. This occurred during the period when David was fleeing from King Saul. Tsiklag became a base for David and his men, and from there, they conducted raids against various groups. The town is notably mentioned in 1 Samuel 30, where it was attacked and burned by the Amalekites while David and his men were away. Upon returning, David pursued the Amalekites and successfully recovered all that had been taken, including their families and possessions. Tsiklag is also mentioned in the context of the distribution of spoils to the elders of Judah (1 Samuel 30:26-31). The town remained under the control of the tribe of Judah after David became king.
