More about the place

Avigayil, also called Mitzpe Avigayil, is a small yishuv on a hill between Susiya and Ma'on, in the southern Hebron Hills. The yishuv is named after Avigayil, wife of Nabal the Carmelite from the biblical story. Inside the yishuv, above the water cistern, an observation deck has been built with shade, tables, and benches. Near the yishuv is the Hidden Spring, a small pool inside a cave, where according to legend David and Avigayil met.
