EZEL.—The spot where Jonathan arranged to meet David before the latter’s final departure from the court of Saul (1Sa_20:19). The place is not mentioned elsewhere, and it is now generally admitted that the Heb. text of this passage is corrupt. The true reading seems to have been preserved by the LXX [Note: Septuagint.] , according to which we should read in 1Sa_20:19 ‘yonder cairn,’ and in 1Sa_20:41 ‘from beside the cairn.’
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


("the stone".) Near Saul's house, the scene of David and Jonathan's parting (1Sa_20:19). At 1Sa_20:41 instead of "out of a place toward the S." Smith's Bible Dictionary reads, "David arose from close to the stone heap" ('argob for negeb; so Septuagint). But KJV is better, from the side of the S., in relation to Jonathan's position; accordingly David next flees southward, to Nob.

E'zel. (departure). Ezel. The stone, A well-known stone in the neighborhood of Saul's residence, the scene of the parting of David and Jonathan. 1Sa_20:19.

ē?zel (האזל, hā-'āzel; Septuagint παρὰ τὸ ἐργὰβ ἐκεῖνο, pará tó ergáb ekeı́no): As it stands, the narrative in 1Sa_20:19 records the tryst of Jonathan with David at the stone Ezel. The name occurs only here. There is general agreement that the text is corrupt, but there is no agreement as to how it should be restored. The Septuagint reads ?this mound? (the Revised Version (British and American), margin), or ?yonder cairn?; and in 1Sa_20:41 instead of ?out of a place toward the South? it reads ?from beside the mound? or ?cairn.? Dr. Cheyne suggests ?yonder juniper tree? (Encyclopaedia Biblica, under the word).

Ezel
occurs only in the name EBEN-EZEL (Hebrews with the art. repeated, ha- E'ben ha-E'zel, חָאֶבֶן הָאֶזֶל[in pause אָזֶל, A'zel], the stone of the departure, perhaps i.e., mile-stone; Sept. τὸ ῾Εργὰβ v.r. ἔργον and ὁ λίθος] ἐκεῖνο; Vulg. lapis cui nomen est Ezel; A.V. "the stone Ezel"), an old testimonial-stone in the neighborhood of Saul's residence, the scene of the parting of David and Jonathan when the former finally fled from the court (1Sa_20:19). It seems to have derived its name from some early circumstance not recorded. At the second mention of the spot (1Sa_20:41) the Hebrews text ( מֵאֵצֶל הִנֶּגֶםA.V. "out of a place toward the south," literally "from the slope of the south;" Sept. ἀπὸ τοῦ Α᾿ργάβ,Vulg. de loco qui vergebat ad austrum) is, in the opinion of some critics, corrupt, as indicated by the Sept., which in both cases has Ergab or Argab (i.e. אִרְגֹּב, Argob', a heap of stones) in 1Sa_20:19 for the Hebrews Eben, "stone," and in 1Sa_20:41 for han-negeb, "the south." The sense in 1Sa_20:41 would then be as follows: "David arose from close to the stone heap" — close to which (the same preposition, אֵצֶל; A.V. "by") it had been arranged beforehand that he should remain (1Sa_20:19). Other interpreters, however, render simply "on the south side," a signification which sufficiently suits the circumstances.
