1 Samuel 23:26-28

New Catholic Bible

²⁶ Saul was on one side of the mountain, and David and his men were on the other side of the mountain. David, out of fear, hurried to get away. Saul and his men were trying to surround David and his men to capture them.

²⁷ A messenger came to Saul saying, “Come quickly, for the Philistines have invaded the land.” ²⁸ Saul broke off his pursuit of David and he left to fight against the Philistines. This is why they called that place the Rock of Escape.
