1. Keilah (city in Judah) — The proper noun Keilah, a fortified city in the Shephelah of Judah associated with David's rescue from the Philistines (1 Sam 23). All four clusters represent the same toponym with different prepositional frames: bare noun, with min (from-Keilah), with beth (against-Keilah), and with waw conjunction (and-Keilah). Multilingual evidence confirms identity: Arabic consistently uses qe'ilah (قَعِيلَة), Spanish Queila/Keila, Korean alternates between 게일라 and 그일라, Swahili uniformly Keila, and Hindi uses kila (कीला/कईला). These are purely morphosyntactic variants of one place name. 18×
