Hachilah
Name meaning: "my hope is in her"
Hachilah (meaning the darksome hill) was one of the peaks of the long ridge running south of Hebron in the hill country of Judah. It appears in the narrative of David's flight from Saul: at Hachilah, David hid among the Ziphites who betrayed his location to the king, and Saul pursued him there with three thousand men (1 Sam. 23:19; 26:1–3). On a second visit, David secretly entered Saul's camp at night while the king slept and took his spear and water cruse—proof of his restraint in not harming the Lord's anointed.
The hill of Hachilah illustrates the terrain of southern Judah that made pursuit and concealment both possible: a broken landscape of ridges, ravines, and wilderness areas that provided natural refuge for outlaws and fugitives. Its exact modern identification is uncertain, though it lay in the wilderness of Ziph southeast of Hebron.
