1 Samuel 23:26

David Eludes Saul's Pursuit

²⁵ And Saul and his men went in search of him. And David had word of it, so he came down to the rock in the waste land of Maon. And Saul, hearing of this, went after David into the waste land of Maon. ²⁶ And Saul and his men went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men went on the other: and David's purpose was to get away as quickly as possible, for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men were making a circle round David and his men in order to take them. ²⁷ But a man came to Saul saying, Be quick and come; for the Philistines have made an attack on the land.
