Ezel was not a person but a stone or landmark near Saul's residence in Gibeah, mentioned only in 1 Samuel 20:19 as the spot where David hid while Jonathan tested his father's intentions toward him. It marks the site of David and Jonathan's last meeting before David fled from Saul for good. The Hebrew name likely means 'departure' or 'separation,' fitting the scene it names.
