However, at his own request, he subsequently established himself in Ziklag (hbo yes none צִקְלַג ṣiqlāg), which was presumably granted to him by Achish in exchange for military service. Thus, Ziklag became the property of the Judean kings.Jones 2007 213 From Ziklag, David launched raids against Israel's enemies, including the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites, while giving the impression to Achish that he was targeting enemies of the Philistines. By conquering these potential adversaries and collecting booty, David was effectively preparing for his future kingship.Jones 2007 213 Verse 6 Then Achish gave him Ziklag that day. Therefore, Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.1 Samuel 27:6 MEV "Ziklag": allotted to the tribes of Simeon and Judah in Joshua 15:31 and 19:5,Joshua 15:31, 19:5 HE y but the definitive location remains unknown.
