International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Chesil:

ke'-sil, kes'-il (kecil; A, Chaseir): A town in the extreme South of Judah named with Eltolad, Hormah and Ziklag (Jos 15:30). The name does not occur again. In Jos 19:4 it is replaced by Bethul (Septuagint Baithel), and in 1Ch 4:30 by Bethuel. "Chesil" may have arisen from a misreading of the text.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Chesil:

(idolatrous) a town in the extreme south of Palestine (Joshua 15:30) 15 Miles southwest of Beersheba. In Joshua 19:4, the name is BETHUL.
