1 Samuel 23:26-29 Amplified Bible (AMP)

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 get away for fear of Saul, for Saul and his men were surrounding [him] and his men to capture them.

27. But a messenger came to Saul, saying, Make haste and come, for the Philistines have made a raid on the land.

28. So Saul returned from pursuing David and went against the Philistines. So they called that place the Rock of Escape.

29. David went up from there and dwelt in the strongholds of En-gedi.
