It is mentioned in several other biblical passages, notably in the narrative of David's flight from King Saul. Ziph was one of the places where David hid, and the Ziphites betrayed him to Saul (<a href="/1_samuel/23-19.htm">1 Samuel 23:19-24</a>). This area is associated with the wilderness of Ziph, a rugged and desolate region, which provided natural fortifications. The name Ziph means "flowing" or "battlement," reflecting its strategic importance. Archaeological evidence suggests that Ziph was a fortified city during the time of the monarchy.<p><b>Telem</b><br>Telem is less frequently mentioned in the Bible, and its exact location is not definitively known. It is listed among the cities in the Negev, the southern desert region of Judah. The name Telem means "oppression" or "a heap," which may indicate its geographical features or historical experiences of its inhabitants. The Negev was a challenging environment, requiring resilience and adaptability from its settlers. Telem's inclusion in the list of cities highlights the comprehensive nature of Judah's territorial claims and the diversity of its landscape.<p><b>Bealoth</b><br>Bealoth is another city in the southern part of Judah's territory. The name Bealoth means "mistresses" or "lords," possibly indicating a place of significance or authority. It is sometimes associated with Baalath-beer, mentioned in <a href="/joshua/19-8.htm">Joshua 19:8</a>, which was a city given to the tribe of Simeon within Judah's territory. The connection to Baal, a common Canaanite deity, suggests that the city may have had religious or cultural importance before Israelite settlement. The mention of Bealoth in the context of Judah's inheritance underscores the transition from Canaanite to Israelite control and the ongoing struggle against idolatry.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/z/ziph.htm">Ziph</a></b><br>A town in the southern part of the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah.
