1 Samuel 23:26-29

New King James Version

²⁶ Then Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain. ^(A)So David made haste to get away from Saul, for Saul and his men ^(B)were encircling David and his men to take them.

^27 (C)But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, for the Philistines have invaded the land!” ²⁸ Therefore Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines; so they called that place ^[a]the Rock of Escape. ²⁹ Then David went up from there and dwelt in strongholds at ^(D)En Gedi.
