Schwarz himself (p. 157) would identify it with Askar, on the south-east end of Mount Eba], and the well with Jacob’s Well in the plain below; and Van de Velde (S. and P. ii, 53 sq.) hesitatingly places it at Shuk, in the mountains of Judah north-east of Hebron; but this they are forced into by their respective theories as to the position of Ramathaim-Zophim” (Smith). Sechu is perhaps represented by the present Khuraib er-Ram, which still contains a cistern (Robinson, Later Res. p. 287), and lies near er-Ram (Ramah) directly on the road from Tuleil el-Ful (Gibcah of Saul).<\/p>\n
Lieut. Conder suggests (Tent Work, 2:116) that this may be represented by Khurbet Suweikeh, three and a half miles north-west of er-Rlam consisting of walls, foundations, and heaps of stones; pieces of tessellated pavement” (Memoirs to Ordnance Survey, 3:126).<\/p>\n

Assuming that Saul started from Gibeah, (Tuleil el-Ful), and that Neby Samwil is Ramah, then Bir Nebolla, (the well of Neballa), just south of Beeroth, alleged by modern traveller to contain a large pit, would be in a suitable position for the great well of Sechu.<\/p>\n Sechu (Heb. with the art. has-Seku’, ., the watch-tower, implying that the place was on or near an elevation; Sept. v. r. ), a region in Ramah, containing a famous well (or rather cistern, ), which Saul passed while in pursuit of David (1Sa 19:22). “Assuming that Saul started from Gibeah (Tuleil el-Ful), and that … Continue reading “Sechu”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-encyclopedic-dictionary"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83130","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83130"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83130\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.biblia.work\/dictionaries\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Fuente: Easton’s Bible Dictionary<\/b><\/i><\/h4>\n
