So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines; therefore that place was called the Rock of Escape.
We have escaped as a bird from the snare of the fowlers; the snare is broken, and we have escaped!
And Saul and his men went to seek him. And David was told; therefore he went down to the rock which is in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.
when a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Make haste and come; for the Philistines have made a raid upon the land.”
And David went up from there, and dwelt in the strongholds of En-gedi.
When Saul returned from following the Philistines, he was told, “Behold, David is in the wilderness of En-gedi.”
Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men in front of the Wildgoats' Rocks.
