1. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Keilah
   citadel, a city in the lowlands of Judah (Josh. 15:44). David
   rescued it from the attack of the Philistines (1 Sam. 23:1-8);
   but the inhabitants proving unfaithful to him, in that they
   sought to deliver him up to Saul (13), he and his men "departed
   from Keilah, and went whithersoever they could go." They fled to
   the hill Hareth, about 3 miles to the east, and thence through
   Hebron to Ziph (q.v.). "And David was in the wilderness of Ziph,
   in a wood" (1 Sam. 23:15). Here Jonathan sought him out, "and
   strengthened his hand in God." This was the last interview
   between David and Jonathan (23:16-18). It is the modern Khurbet
   Kila. Others identify it with Khuweilfeh, between Beit Jibrin
   (Eleutheropolis) and Beersheba, mentioned in the Amarna tablets.
