Who this is
Ziph was a town in the hill country of Judah southeast of Hebron whose surrounding wilderness gave David refuge while he fled from Saul. The Ziphites twice betrayed David's location to Saul, prompting psalms that reflect on that betrayal. A second, smaller Ziph lay further south in the Negev, and the name also recurs among Judah's genealogies.
