1 Samuel 24:1-3

New International Reader's Version

David Doesn’t Kill Saul When He Has the Chance

24 Saul returned from chasing the Philistines. Then he was told, “David is in the Desert of En Gedi.” ² So Saul took 3,000 of the best soldiers from the whole nation of Israel. He started out to look for David and his men. He planned to look near the Rocky Cliffs of the Wild Goats.

³ He came to some sheep pens along the way. A cave was there. Saul went in to go to the toilet. David and his men were far back in the cave.
