1 Samuel 23:25-27

Contemporary English Version

²⁵ Saul and his army set out to find David. But David heard that Saul was coming, and he went to a place called The Rock, one of his hideouts in Maon Desert.

Saul found out where David was and started closing in on him. ²⁶ Saul was going around a hill on one side, and David and his men were on the other side, trying to get away. Saul and his soldiers were just about to capture David and his men, ²⁷ when a messenger came to Saul and said, “Come quickly! The Philistines are attacking Israel and taking everything.”
