Fausets
("the stone".) Near Saul's house, the scene of David and Jonathan's parting (1Sa 20:19). At 1Sa 20:41 instead of "out of a place toward the S." Smith's Bible Dictionary reads, "David arose from close to the stone heap" ('argob for negeb; so Septuagint). But KJV is better, from the side of the S., in relation to Jonathan's position; accordingly David next flees southward, to Nob.

Hastings
The spot where Jonathan arranged to meet David before the latter's final departure from the court of Saul (1Sa 20:19). The place is not mentioned elsewhere, and it is now generally admitted that the Heb. text of this passage is corrupt. The true reading seems to have been preserved by the Septuagint, according to which we should read in 1Sa 20:19 'yonder cairn,' and in 1Sa 20:41 'from beside the cairn.'
