1 Samuel 23:25-28

25When SaulH7586 and his menH376 wentH1980 to seekH1245 him, they informedH5046 DavidH1732, and he cameH3381 downH3381 to the rockH5553 and stayedH3427 in the wildernessH4057 of MaonH4584. And when SaulH7586 heardH8085 about it, he pursuedH7291H310 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, while SaulH7586 and his menH376 1were surroundingH5849 DavidH1732 and his menH376 to apprehendH8610 them.

27But a messengerH4397 cameH935 to SaulH7586, sayingH559, “HurryH4116 and comeH1980, for the PhilistinesH6430 have launchedH6584 anH6584 attackH6584 againstH5921 the landH776!”

28So SaulH7586 returnedH7725 from pursuingH7291H310 DavidH1732 and wentH1980 to confrontH7122 the PhilistinesH6430; thereforeH5921H3651 they calledH7121 that placeH4725 2the RockH5553 of DivisionH4256.
