The Philistines were standing on the mountain on one side and Israel was standing on the mountain on the other side, with the valley between them.

Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain. And David was hurrying to get away from Saul, for Saul and his men were surrounding David and his men to capture them.

It happened that as she was riding on her donkey and coming down by [way of] the hidden part of the mountain, that suddenly David and his men were coming down toward her, and she met them.

Then David crossed over to the other side and stood on the top of the mountain at a distance, with a large area between them.
