Information about Ziklag
Ziklag = "winding" glqc
- a town in the south of Yehudah, later allotted to Shimon; noted for its having been the city of David given to him by king Achish of Gath and his residence when he was joined by many of his mighty warriors and when he received word of the death of Shaul
Ziklag was located in the Negev region in the south of what was the Kingdom of Yehudah. Its exact location has not been identified with any certainty, though by the end of the 19th century, both Haluza (by the Wadi- Aslu to the south of Beersheba) and Khirbet Zuheiliqah (located to the north west of Beer-Sheva and south southeast of Gaza city) had been suggested . Ziklag is generally agreed to be a significant corruption of the location's actual name ; Haluza was identified as the location on the basis of Ziklag being a corruption of Halusah (slightly clearer in the underlying Hebrew script than in English), meaning fortress; Khirbet Zuheiliqah was identified as the location on the basis of Ziklag being a corruption of Zahaliku, which means downward slopes and is descriptive of Khirbet Zuheilikah's location . The excavators of Tell Zeitah have suggested it as a possible location of Ziklag.
The Book of Genesis refers to an individual named Casluhim as the founder of the Philistines, and it is thought possible that the name is a corruption of Halusah; with the identification of Ziklag as Haluza, this suggests that Ziklag was the original base from which the Philistines captured the remainder of their territory. It has also been proposed that Ziklag subsequently became the capital of the Cherethites .
According to the Sefer ha Shemuel Bet, while David was encamped with the Philistine army for an attack on the Kingdom of Yisra'el, Ziklag was raided by Amalekites; the Amalekites burning the town, and capturing its population without killing them (scholars think this capture refers to enslavement ). However, none of the archaeological sites which have been variously suspected to be Ziklag show any evidence of destruction during the era of David.
