ziklag
   a town in the negeb, or south country of judah josh. 15:31, in
   the possession of the philistines when david fled to gath from
   ziph with all his followers. achish, the king, assigned him
   ziklag as his place of residence. there he dwelt for over a year
   and four months. from this time it pertained to the kings of
   judah 1 sam. 27:6. during his absence with his army to join
   the philistine expedition against the israelites 29:11, it was
   destroyed by the amalekites 30:1, 2, whom david, however,
   pursued and utterly routed, returning all the captives 1 sam.
   30:26-31. two days after his return from this expedition, david
   received tidings of the disastrous battle of gilboa and of the
   death of saul 2 sam. 1:1-16. he now left ziklag and returned
   to hebron, along with his two wives, ahinoam and abigail, and
   his band of 600 men. it has been identified with 'asluj, a heap
   of ruins south of beersheba. conder, however, identifies it with
   khirbet zuheilikah, ruins found on three hills half a mile
   apart, some seventeen miles north-west of beersheba, on the
   confines of philistia, judah, and amalek.
