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

25 When Saul and his men went to search for David, some people told David, and he went down to the Rock of Escape and remained in the wilderness of Maon. Saul heard this and he pursued David into the wilderness of Maon.

26 Saul went on one side of the mountain while David and his men went on the other side of the mountain. David was hurrying to get away from Saul while Saul and his men were closing in on David and his men to capture them. 27 Then a messenger came to Saul with this news: "Come quickly, because the Philistines have made a raid on the land!" 28 So Saul turned around from pursuing David and went to meet the Philistines. Therefore, they call that place the Rock of Escape. 29 David went up from there and stayed in the strongholds of En-gedi.
