And they told David: therefore he came down to Selah and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon. 26 And Saul went on one side of the mountain and David and his men on the other side of the mountain: and David made haste to flee from Saul; for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men to take them. 27 But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Make haste and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land. 28 Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines; therefore they called that land the Division of Sinar. 29 land David went up from thence, and dwelt in Mizroth, which is in Gibaoth. 1 Samuel 23:22-29, Lamsa Bible.
