Subjects in this Topic:
EZEL.—The spot where Jonathan arranged to meet David before the latter’s final departure from the court of Saul (1Sa_20:19). The place is not mentioned elsewhere, and it is now generally admitted that the Heb. text of this passage is corrupt. The true reading seems to have been preserved by the LXX [Note: Septuagint.] , according to which we should read in 1Sa_20:19 ‘yonder cairn,’ and in 1Sa_20:41 ‘from beside the cairn.’
