Phicol, also spelled Phichol (KJV) or Phikol, (, meaning "great"; ) was a Philistine military leader.
Phicol was the chief captain of the army of Abimelech, the Philistine king of Gerar. He entered into an alliance with Abraham with reference to a certain well which, from this circumstance, was called Beersheba, "the well of the oath" (Genesis 21:22,32; 26:26).
