David Spares Saul’s Life
24 [a]When Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, he was told,[b] “Look, David is in the wilderness of En-gedi.” 2 Saul took 3,000 of his best troops[c] from all over Israel, and he went to look for David and his men in the direction of the Rocks of the Wild Goats. 3 He came to the sheepfolds beside the road. There was a cave there, and Saul went in to relieve himself.[d] Now David and his men were sitting in the inner recesses[e] of the cave.
