1 Samuel 23:25-29
-
25 Saul also and his men went to seek him. And they told David: wherefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.
-
26 And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them.
-
27 But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.
-
28 Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammahlekoth.
-
29 And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at Engedi.
