Keilah
    citadel, a city in the lowlands of Judah (Josh. 15:44). David
    rescued it from the attack of the Philistines (1 Sam. 23:1-8);
    but the inhabitants proving unfaithful to him, in that they
    sought to deliver him up to Saul (13), he and his men "departed
    from Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go." They fled to
    the hill Hareth, about 3 miles to the east, and thence through
    Hebron to Ziph (q.v.). "And David was in the wilderness of Ziph,
    in a wood" (1 Sam. 23:15). Here Jonathan sought him out, "and
    strengthened his hand in God." This was the last interview
    between David and Jonathan (23:16-18). It is the modern Khurbet
    Kila. Others identify it with Khuweilfeh, between Beit Jibrin
    (Eleutheropolis) and Beersheba, mentioned in the Amarna tablets.
