1 Samuel 23:14

David Eludes Saul's Pursuit

¹³ Then arose David and his men, about six hundred, and went forth out of Keilah, and went to and fro, whithersoever they could, - and, unto Saul, it was told that David had escaped out of Keilah, so he forbare to go forth. ¹⁴ Then David abode in the wilderness, in the fortresses, and he abode in the hill country, in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him continually, but God delivered him not into his hand. ¹⁵ Then David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life, David, being in the wilderness of Ziph, in the thicket.
