The Ziphites are using the term on the face of by association to mean in front of or opposite. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: [opposite Jeshimon]
26:1 Men from Ziph had previously volunteered to capture David and hand him over to Saul (23:19-20).
• Hakilah . . . Jeshimon is the same geographical location they had mentioned to Saul before (23:19). David had not moved far, probably because the hilly terrain was dotted with numerous caves, providing many good hiding places.
