The great cistern at Secu may refer to a well outside Ramah, the same well from which a group of young women came to draw water when Saul previously visited the town (1 Samuel 9:11).1 This would be a good place to speak with people and ask for directions to the shepherd’s huts or the place where Samuel and the prophets gathered.
22 Alors Saül alla lui-même à Rama. Arrivé à la grande citerne qui est à Sécou, il demanda: Où sont Samuel et David? On lui répondit: Ils sont à Najoth, près de Rama.
