1 Samuel 23:19-29 - David's Narrow Escape
19 And the Ziphites will go up to Saul to the hill, saying, Is not David hiding with us in the fastnesses in the thicket, in the hill of Hachilah, which is from the right of the desert? 20 And now, according to all the desire of thy soul, O king, to come down, come down; and for us to shut him up into the hand of the king.
21 And Saul will say, Blessed ye, by Jehovah; for ye had pity upon me. 22 Go now, prepare yet, and know, and see his place where his foot shall be, who saw him there: for it was said to me being crafty, he will be crafty. 23 And see ye, and know of all the hiding places where he will hide there, and turn back to me prepared, and I went with you: and it being if he is on earth, and I sought him in all the thousands of Judah. 24 And they will rise and go to Ziph before Saul: and David and his men in the desert of Maon, in the sterile region to the right of Jeshimon. 25 And Saul will go, and his men, to seek: and they will announce to David, and he will go down to the rock and dwell in the desert of the refuge. And Saul will hear and he will pursue after David in the desert of Maon.
26 And Saul will go from the side of the mountain from hence, and David from the side of the mountain from thence: and David will be taking flight to go from the face of Saul; and Saul and his men surrounding upon David and upon his men to seize them. 27 And a messenger came to Saul, saying, Hasten and come, for the rovers plundered upon the land. 28 And Saul will turn back from pursuing after David, and he will go to meet the rovers: for this they called that place the Rock of Escapes. 29 And David will go up from thence and dwell in the fastnesses of the Fountain of Goats.
