The Divine Interruption at Maon
1 Samuel 23:26-29
26
Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men surrounded David and his men to take them.
27
But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come; for the Philistines have made a raid on the land!”
28
So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Sela Hammahlekoth.
29
David went up from there, and lived in the strongholds of En Gedi.
