Ziph. (battlement). The name of two towns in Judah.
1. In the south, named between Ithnan and Telem. Jos_15:24. It does not appear again in the history, nor has any trace of has been met with.
2. In the highland district, named between Carmel and Juttah. Jos_15:55. The place is immortalized by its connection with David. 1Sa_23:14-15; 1Sa_23:24; 1Sa_26:2. These passages show that, at that time, it had near it a wilderness, (that is, a waste pasture-ground), and a wood. The latter has disappeared, but the former remains. The name of Zif, found about three miles south of Hebron, is attached to a rounded hill of some 100 feet in height, which is called Tell Zif.
3. Son of Jehaleleel. 1Ch_4:16.

Ziph, the name of a city in the tribe of Judah (Jos_15:55; 2Ch_11:8), and of a desert in its vicinity (1Sa_23:14-15). It is mentioned by Jerome (Onomast. s. v.), but had not been since noticed till Dr. Robinson found the name in the Tell Zif (Hill of Zif), which occurs about four miles and a half S. by E. from Hebron, and is a round eminence about a hundred feet high, situated in a plain. A site also called Zif, lies about ten minutes east of this, upon a low hill or ridge between two small wadys, which commence here and run towards the Dead Sea. There is now little to be seen besides broken walls and foundations, mostly of unhewn stones, but indicative of solidity.

(Heb. idn. זַי, battlement [Gesen.] or melting place [Fürst]; Sept. Ζίβ or Ζίφ, with many v.r.; Vulg. Ziph or Siph), the name of a man and of one or two places in Judah.
1. First named of the four sons of Jehaleleel of the tribe of Judah (1Ch_4:16). B.C. post 1618.
2. A town apparently in the south or Simeonitish part of Judah (Jos_15:24), where it is mentioned between Ithnan and Telem; but the enumeration and the absence of the copula require us to join it with the former, i.e. Ithnan-ziph, and in that case it may be an appendage retaining a trace of the Zephath (q.v.) of that region. SEE ITHNAN.
3. A town in the mountain district of Judah (Jos_15:55), where it is mentioned between Carmel and Juttab, in the south-east group. SEE JUDAH, TRIBE OF. The place is immortalized by its connection with David, some of whose greatest perils and happiest escapes took place in its neighborhood (1Sa_23:14-15; 1Sa_2:4; 1Sa_26:2). It had been built by Mesha the son of Caleb (1Ch_2:42), and was eventually fortified by Rehoboam (2Ch_11:8). Zib is mentioned in the Onomasticon as eight miles east of Hebron; the village, adds Jerome, in which David hid is still shown. This can hardly be the spot above referred to, unless the distance and direction have been stated at random, or the passage is corrupt both in Eusebius and Jerome. Elsewhere (under Zeiband Ziph) they place it near Carmel, and connect it with Ziph the descendant of Caleb. The place, in question is doubtless the Tell Zif, about three miles south of Hebron, a rounded hill of some hundred feet in height, with a spring adjacent. About half a mile east of the tell are some considerable ruins, standing at the head of two small wadies, which, commencing here, run off towards the Dead Sea. These ruins are pronounced by Robinson (Bibl. Res. 1, 492) to be those of the ancient Ziph. There was originally a desert (מַדַבָּר) and a wood (חֹרֶשׁ, choresh, 1Sa_23:15) attached to the place, traces of the latter of which have been supposed to exist in the present Khirbet Khoreisa, about one mile south of Tell Zif (Quar. Statement of the Palest. Explor. Fund, Jan, 1875, p. 45). SEE HACHILAH.
