1 Samuel 23:19-24

19Then the men of Ziph went to Saul in Gibeah. They said, “David is hiding with us in fortified camps at Horesh on the hills of Hachilah, south of Jeshimon.

20Come, Your Majesty, whenever you want. We will hand him over to you.”

21Saul responded, “The Lord bless you for feeling sorry for me!

22Please make more plans, and watch where he goes. Who has seen him there? I’m told he’s very clever.

23Watch and learn about all the hiding places where he may be hiding, and come back to me with the facts. Then I’ll go with you, and if he’s in the country, I’ll search for him among all the families of Judah.”

24They left for Ziph ahead of Saul. David and his men were in the desert of Maon, in the plains south of Jeshimon.
