1 Samuel10:2
Rachel's sepulcher - This was nigh to Bethlehem. See Gen 35:19.
At Zelzah - If this be the name of a place, nothing is known of it.
The Hebrew בצלצח betseltsach is translated by the Septuagint ἁλλομενους μεγαλα, dancing greatly: now this may refer to the joy they felt and expressed on finding the asses, or it may refer to those religious exultations, or playing on instruments of music, mentioned in the succeeding verses.
