1 Samuel 23:24-26

Living Bible

^24-25 So the men of Ziph returned home. But when David heard that Saul was on his way to Ziph, he and his men went even further into the wilderness of Maon in the south of the desert. But Saul followed them there. ²⁶ He and David were now on opposite sides of a mountain. As Saul and his men began to close in, David tried his best to escape, but it was no use.
