1 Samuel 23:25-27

Revised Geneva Translation

²⁵ When Saul and his men went to seek him, they told David. Therefore, he came down to a rock and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he followed after David in the wilderness of Maon.

²⁶ And Saul and his men went to one side of the mountain, and David and his men to the other side of the mountain. And David hurried to get away from the presence of Saul (for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men, to take them).

²⁷ But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come! For the Philistines have invaded the land!”
