1 Samuel 23:26

David Eludes Saul's Pursuit

²⁵ Saul also and his men went to seek him. And they told David: wherefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon. ²⁶ And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men around to take them. ²⁷ But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.
