It is identified as a place near Ramah in the territory of Benjamin. The name itself suggests a place that is enclosed or fortified, which may indicate its strategic or defensive significance in ancient times.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the context of ancient Israel, locations like Secu were often small settlements or landmarks that held military or logistical importance. The region of Benjamin, where Secu is located, was a central area in the tribal allotments of Israel, often serving as a buffer zone between the northern and southern tribes. The mention of Secu in the biblical narrative underscores the complex geopolitical landscape of ancient Israel, where towns and cities were frequently sites of conflict or refuge.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a city near Ramah<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Secu (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">שֵׂ֫כוּ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> (si vera lectio) <font size="+1"><b>near Ramah</b></font> (= <em>outlook</em>, Kö<sup>ii. 1, 61</sup>); — <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/19-22.htm">1 Samuel 19:22</a>; WMM<sup>As.u.
