Places · Updated 2026-05-08

Racal is a town mentioned in connection with David's distribution of spoil after the raid against the Amalekites. UPDV records it among the places whose people received a share: "and to those who were in Racal, and to those who were in the cities of the Jerahmeelites, and to those who were in the cities of the Kenites" (1Sa 30:29). The location is not otherwise identified in UPDV, and it appears only in this single verse.
