               Zaglossus}]

English Dictionary: zuzulassen by the DICT Development Group
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Ziklag
      a town in the Negeb, or south country of Judah (Josh. 15:31), in
      the possession of the Philistines when David fled to Gath from
      Ziph with all his followers. Achish, the king, assigned him
      Ziklag as his place of residence. There he dwelt for over a year
      and four months. From this time it pertained to the kings of
      Judah (1 Sam. 27:6). During his absence with his army to join
      the Philistine expedition against the Israelites (29:11), it was
      destroyed by the Amalekites (30:1, 2), whom David, however,
      pursued and utterly routed, returning all the captives (1 Sam.
      30:26-31). Two days after his return from this expedition, David
      received tidings of the disastrous battle of Gilboa and of the
      death of Saul (2 Sam. 1:1-16). He now left Ziklag and returned
      to Hebron, along with his two wives, Ahinoam and Abigail, and
      his band of 600 men. It has been identified with 'Asluj, a heap
      of ruins south of Beersheba. Conder, however, identifies it with
      Khirbet Zuheilikah, ruins found on three hills half a mile
      apart, some seventeen miles north-west of Beersheba, on the
      confines of Philistia, Judah, and Amalek.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Ziklag, measure pressed down
