1 Samuel 23:25-28

25SaulH7586 also and his menH582 wentH3212 to seekH1245 him. And they toldH5046 DavidH1732: wherefore he came downH3381 into a rockH5553, and abodeH3427 in the wildernessH4057 of MaonH4584. And when SaulH7586 heardH8085 that, he pursuedH7291 afterH310 DavidH1732 in the wildernessH4057 of MaonH4584.1 26And SaulH7586 wentH3212 on this sideH6654 of the mountainH2022, and DavidH1732 and his menH582 on that sideH6654 of the mountainH2022: and DavidH1732 made hasteH2648 to get awayH3212 for fearH6440 of SaulH7586; for SaulH7586 and his menH582 compassedH5849 DavidH1732 and his menH582 round aboutH5849 to takeH8610 them.

27But there cameH935 a messengerH4397 unto SaulH7586, sayingH559, HasteH4116 thee, and comeH3212; for the PhilistinesH6430 have invadedH6584 the landH776.2 28Wherefore SaulH7586 returnedH7725 from pursuingH7291 afterH310 DavidH1732, and wentH3212 againstH7125 the PhilistinesH6430: therefore they calledH7121 that placeH4725 Sela–hammahlekothH5555.3
