1 Samuel 23:25-29 - David In The Desert Of Maon

25 Then Saul and his men departed, to seek him ; but it had been told David, and he had gone down the cliff, and taken up his abode in the wilderness of Maon, - and when Saul had, heard it, he pursued 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, - wherefore David became hurried, to get away from the presence of Saul, but, Saul and his men, were surrounding David and his men, to capture then: 27 when, a messenger, came unto Saul, saying, - Haste thee and come! for the Philistines have spread over the land. 28 Then returned Saul from pursuing David, and departed to meet the Philistines, - for which cause, they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth "the Cliff of Separation". 29 And David went up from thence, - and abode in the strongholds of En-gedi.
