1 Samuel 23:26-28

26Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain; and David was hurrying to get away from Saul, while Saul and his men 1were surrounding David and his men to apprehend them.

27But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, for the Philistines have launched an attack against the land!”

28So Saul returned from pursuing David and went to confront the Philistines; therefore they called that place 2the Rock of Division.
