ZELZAH

(Heb. ṣelṣaḥ)

A place where Samuel tells Saul he is to find the first of three signs confirming his anointing as king (1 Sam. 10:2). No such location “in the territory of Benjamin” is known, and the four consonants suggest a non-Semitic place name. The LXX renders the word “leaping greatly,” and the Vulg. takes it as a temporal noun, “at noon.” Numerous other suggestions have been made, including emending the word to read bĕṣelṣĕlîm, “with music,” which would fit well the context of 1 Sam. 9–10.

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.
