1 Samuel 23:25-28

25When SaulH7586 and his menH376 wentH1980 to seekH1245 him, they toldH5046 DavidH1732, and he cameH3381 downH3381 to the rockH5553 and stayedH3427 in the wildernessH4057 of MaonH4584. And when SaulH7586 heardH8085 it, he pursuedH7291 DavidH1732 in the wildernessH4057 of MaonH4584.

26SaulH7586 wentH1980 on oneH2088 sideH6654 of the mountainH2022, and DavidH1732 and his menH376 on the otherH2088 sideH6654 of the mountainH2022; and DavidH1732 was hurryingH2648 to getH1980 awayH1980 from SaulH7586, for SaulH7586 and his menH376 1were surroundingH5849 DavidH1732 and his menH376 to seizeH8610 them.

27But a messengerH4397 cameH935 to SaulH7586, sayingH559, “HurryH4116 and comeH1980, for the PhilistinesH6430 have madeH6584 a raidH6584 on the landH776.”

28So SaulH7586 returnedH7725 from pursuingH7291 DavidH1732 and wentH1980 to meetH7122 the PhilistinesH6430; thereforeH5921H3651 they calledH7121 that placeH4725 2the RockH5553 of EscapeH4256.
