Where Ziph appears in Scripture
וַיֵּשֶׁב דָּוִד בַּמִּדְבָּר בַּמְּצָדוֹת וַיֵּשֶׁב בָּהָר בְּמִדְבַּר-זִיף וַיְבַקְשֵׁהוּ שָׁאוּל כָּל-הַיָּמִים וְלֹֽא-נְתָנוֹ אֱלֹהִים בְּיָדֽוֹ׃
And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.
וַיַּרְא דָוִד כִּֽי-יָצָא שָׁאוּל לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת-נַפְשׁוֹ וְדָוִד בְּמִדְבַּר-זִיף בַּחֹֽרְשָׁה׃
And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life: and David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a wood.
וַיָּקוּמוּ וַיֵּֽלְכוּ זִיפָה לִפְנֵי שָׁאוּל וְדָוִד וַֽאֲנָשָׁיו בְּמִדְבַּר מָעוֹן בָּֽעֲרָבָה אֶל יְמִין הַיְשִׁימֽוֹן׃
And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon.
וַיָּקָם שָׁאוּל וַיֵּרֶד אֶל-מִדְבַּר-זִיף וְאִתּוֹ שְׁלֹֽשֶׁת-אֲלָפִים אִישׁ בְּחוּרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לְבַקֵּשׁ אֶת-דָּוִד בְּמִדְבַּר-זִֽיף׃
Then Saul arose, and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
וּבְנֵי כָלֵב אֲחִי יְרַחְמְאֵל מֵישָׁע בְּכֹרוֹ הוּא אֲבִי-זִיף וּבְנֵי מָֽרֵשָׁה אֲבִי חֶבְרֽוֹן׃
Now the sons of Caleb the brother of Jerahmeel were, Mesha his firstborn, which was the father of Ziph; and the sons of Mareshah the father of Hebron.
וּבְנֵי יְהַלֶּלְאֵל זִיף וְזִיפָה תִּֽירְיָא וַֽאֲשַׂרְאֵֽל׃
And the sons of Jehaleleel; Ziph, and Ziphah, Tiria, and Asareel.
