1 Samuel 23:25-28
25and SaulH7586 and his menH582 wentH1980 to seekH1245 him. When DavidH1732 was told about itH5046, he went downH3381 to the rockH5553 and stayedH3427 in the WildernessH4057 of MaonH4584. And when SaulH7586 heard of thisH8085, he pursuedH7291H310 DavidH1732 thereH4057H4584.
26SaulH7586 was proceeding alongH1980 oneH2088 sideH6654 of the mountainH2022, and DavidH1732 and his menH582 along the otherH2088H1961 sideH6654H2022. Even though DavidH1732 was hurryingH2648 to get awayH1980, SaulH7586 and his menH582 were closingH5849 in onH413 DavidH1732H413 and his menH582 to capture themH8610.
27Then a messengerH4397 cameH935 toH413 SaulH7586, sayingH559, “ComeH1980 quicklyH4116, forH3588 the PhilistinesH6430H5921 have raidedH6584 the landH776!” 28So SaulH7586 broke offH7725 his pursuitH7291H310 of DavidH1732 and wentH1980 to meetH7122 the PhilistinesH6430. That is whyH5921H3651 thatH1931 placeH4725 is calledH7121 Sela-hammahlekothH5555.1
