KEILAH

(Heb. qĕʿîlâ)

(PLACE)

A city in the Shephelah region of Judah (Josh. 15:44) which David defended against the Philistines before Saul forced him to flee into the wilderness of Ziph (1 Sam. 23:1-13). After the Exile the city was resettled and divided into two half-districts (Neh. 3:17-18). The city, called Qilti in the Amarna Letters, was disputed territory during the reign of the Egyptian Akhenaten just as it was in the Philistine period. It can be identified as modern Khirbet Qîlā (150113), ca. 25 km. (15.5 mi.) SW of Jerusalem and 13.6 km. (8.5 mi.) NW of Hebron.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
