1 Samuel 23:26-28

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁶ Saul was on one side of the mountain. David and his men were on the other side of the same mountain. David was moving as quickly as possible to get away from Saul. But Saul and his soldiers were going around the mountain to cut them off and trap David and his men.

²⁷ Then a messenger arrived and told Saul, “Come quickly! The Philistines are attacking.”

²⁸ So Saul stopped chasing David and went to fight the Philistines. That is why people call this place “Slippery Rock.”^[a]
