("the hill or eminence".) (1Sa_19:22): Between Saul's dwelling place, Gibeah, and Samuel's, Ramah. It had "the great well" or cistern (bor). Now, according to some, Bir Neballa ("the well of Neballa"), containing a large pit.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.


Se'chu. (the watch-tower). A place mentioned once only — in 1Sa_19:22 — apparently as lying on the route between Saul's residence, Gibeah, and Ramah, (Ramathaim-zophim), that of Samuel. It was notorious for "the great well" (or rather, cistern) which it contained. Assuming that Saul started from Gibeah, (Tuleil el-Ful), and that Neby Samwil is Ramah, then Bir Nebolla, (the well of Neballa), just south of Beeroth, alleged by modern traveller to contain a large pit, would be in a suitable position for the great well of Sechu.

(Heb. with the art. has-Seku', .חַשְּׂכוּ, the watch-tower, implying that the place was on or near an elevation; Sept. Σεχί v. r. Σεφεί), a region in Ramah, containing a famous well (or rather cistern, בּוֹר), which Saul passed while in pursuit of David (1Sa_19:22). "Assuming that Saul started from Gibeah (Tuleil el-Ful), and that Neby Samwil is Ramah [?], then Bir Neballa (the well of Neballa), alleged by a modern traveller (Schwarz, Palest. p. 127) to contain a large pit, would be in a suitable position for the great well of Sechu. Schwarz himself (p. 157) would identify it with Askar, on the south-east end of Mount Eba], and the well with Jacob's Well in the plain below; and Van de Velde (S. and P. ii, 53 sq.) hesitatingly places it at Shuk, in the mountains of Judah north-east of Hebron; but this they are forced into by their respective theories as to the position of Ramathaim-Zophim" (Smith). Sechu is perhaps represented by the present Khuraib er-Ram, which still contains a cistern (Robinson, Later Res. p. 287), and lies near er-Ram (Ramah) directly on the road from Tuleil el-Ful (Gibcah of Saul).
