- Joshua 15:24
Ziph, Telem, Bealoth,
Commentary on Joshua 15:241 voice
Ziph,.... Ziph was of the tribe of Judah in the south, on the borders of Eleutheropolis, as Jerom says (d) and was eight miles from Hebron to the east; and in his time a village was shown, where David was hid; but that Ziph seems to be in another part of this tribe near Carmel, and from whence a wilderness had its name; see Jos 15:55, and Telem is supposed to be the same with Telaim, 1Sa 15:4, and Bealoth; of this city we read nowhere else. (d) De loc. Heb. fol. 95. G.

- Joshua 15:55
Maon, Carmel, Ziph, Juttah,
Commentary on Joshua 15:551 voice
Maon - In a desert to which this town gave name, David took refuge for a considerable time from the persecution of Saul; and in this place Nabal the Carmelite had great possessions. See 1Sa 23:24, 1Sa 23:25; 1Sa 25:2. Carmel - Not the celebrated mount of that name, but a village, the residence of Nabal. See 1Sa 25:2. It was near Maon, mentioned above, and was about ten miles eastward of Hebron. It is the place where Saul erected a trophy to himself after the defeat of the Amalekites; see 1Sa 15:12. Ziph - See on Jos 15:24 (note).

- 1 Samuel 23:14
And David stayed in the wilderness strongholds and in the hill country of the Wilderness of Ziph. Day after day Saul searched for him, but God would not deliver David into his hand.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 23:141 voice
Ziph is placed between Hebron and En-gedi (marginal references). (The “wood” 1Sa 23:15 is by Conder taken as a proper name, “Cheresh,” and identified with Khoreisa.)

- 1 Samuel 23:15
While David was in Horesh in the Wilderness of Ziph, he saw that Saul had come out to take his life.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 23:152 voices
As it had been from the beginning, so it was now, and will be, he that is born after the flesh persecuteth him that is born after the spirit, Gal. iv.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
No, he makes no such attempt; he keeps God's way, waits God's time, and is content to secure himself in woods and wildernesses, though with some it might seem a reproach to that courage for which he had been famous.
Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710Puritan
- 1 Samuel 23:24
So they set out and went to Ziph ahead of Saul. Now David and his men were in the Wilderness of Maon in the Arabah south of Jeshimon,
Commentary on 1 Samuel 23:242 voices
But David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, etc. Maon is interpreted as dwelling. Jeshimon means bringing death. Generally, however, the faithful, having obtained Christ as their leader, rejoice to thirst for the eternal homeland, which the waterless places of the desert …
Bede· Commentary on SamuelPatristic
The plain - The Arabah, the desert tract which extends along the valley of the Jordan from the Dead Sea to the Lake of Gennesareth, now called El-Ghor. The word is now given by the Arabs to the valley between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Akaba.

- 1 Samuel 26:2
So Saul, accompanied by three thousand chosen men of Israel, went down to the Wilderness of Ziph to search for David there.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 26:21 voice
Three thousand chosen men - Though they knew that David was but six hundred strong, yet Saul thought it was not safe to pursue such an able general with a less force than that mentioned in the text; and, that he might the better depend on them, they were all elect or picked men out of the whole of his army.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- 1 Chronicles 2:42
The sons of Caleb the brother of Jerahmeel: Mesha his firstborn, who was the father of Ziph, and Mareshah his second son, who was the father of Hebron.
Commentary on 1 Chronicles 2:421 voice
Now the sons of Caleb - This was not Caleb the son of Jephunneh, but Caleb the son of Hezron, 1Ch 2:18, 1Ch 2:50. But some think that Caleb the son of Hezron was the grandson of Caleb, son of Jephunneh; but this is probably fanciful. The father of Ziph - “The prince of the Ziphites.” - T.

The sons of Jehallelel: Ziph, Ziphah, Tiria, and Asarel.
- 2 Chronicles 11:8
Gath, Mareshah, Ziph,
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 11:82 voices
And Gath,.... Which cannot be that Gath which was one of the principalities of the Philistines, but a city in the tribe of Judah; though of it we nowhere else read; unless this is the same with Moreshethgath, Mic 1:14, which is probable, since it follows: and Mareshah; the birth place of Micah the prophet, Mic 1:1, and Ziph; there were two cities of this name in the tribe of Judah, Jos 15:24.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
For Gath, see Jos 13:3 note. Its native king, Achish 1Ki 2:39, is to he regarded, not as an independent monarch, but as one of the many vassal-kings over whom Solomon reigned 2Ch 9:23. For Mareshah, see Jos 15:44, for Ziph, Jos 15:55.
