1 Samuel 23:13-15
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
13 Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arose, and departing from Ceila, wandered up and down uncertain where they should stay: and it was told Saul that David was fled from Ceila, and had escaped: wherefore he forbore to go out.
14 But David abode in the desert in strong holds, and he remained in a mountain of the desert of Ziph, in a woody hill. And Saul sought him always: but the Lord delivered him not into his hands.
15 And David saw that Saul was come out to seek his life. And David was in the desert of Ziph, in a wood.
