³ Saul made his camp beside the road on the hill of Hakilah^(A) facing Jeshimon, but David stayed in the wilderness. When he saw that Saul had followed him there, ⁴ he sent out scouts and learned that Saul had definitely arrived.

⁵ Then David set out and went to the place where Saul had camped. He saw where Saul and Abner^(B) son of Ner, the commander of the army, had lain down. Saul was lying inside the camp, with the army encamped around him.
