CHESIL

ke'-sil, kes'-il (kecil; A, Chaseir): A town in the extreme South of Judah named with Eltolad, Hormah and Ziklag (Josh 15:30). The name does not occur again. In Josh 19:4 it is replaced by Bethul Septuagint Baithel), and in 1 Ch 4:30 by Bethuel. "Chesil" may have arisen from a misreading of the text.
