1 Samuel 23:26-28

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁶ Saul was going along one side of the mountain, and David and his men were on the other side. David hurried to get away from Saul and his men, who were trying to surround David and his men in order to capture them. ²⁷ But a messenger came to Saul and said, “Hurry! Come back, because the Philistines have made a raid on the land!” ²⁸ So Saul turned back from pursuing David and went to confront the Philistines. That is why that place is named Sela Hamahlekoth.^[a]
