1 Samuel 23:26-28

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²⁶ Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain. David was hurrying to get away from Saul, while Saul and his men were closing in on David and his men to capture them. ²⁷ Then a messenger came to Saul, saying, ‘Hurry and come; for the Philistines have made a raid on the land.’ ²⁸ So Saul stopped pursuing David, and went against the Philistines; therefore that place was called the Rock of Escape.^[a]
