Chesil was a southern town of Judah likely connected with Bethul and Bethuel. It is important because it preserves one more naming form in the southern settlement tradition. First appears in Josh 15:30.1
AI summary: Chesil matters because the same southern town tradition can survive under different forms in different lists. The place belongs to the Negeb's stable but variably named geography.1
Ungodly, a town in the south of Judah (Josh. 15:30); probably the same as Bethul (19:4) and Bethuel (1 Chr. 4:30); now Khelasa. 3
