1 Samuel 23:23-25

International Standard Version

²³ Investigate and find out all the hiding places there where he hides, and return to me with reliable information. Then I’ll go down with you, and if he’s in the land, I’ll search him out among all the thousands of Judah.” ²⁴ The people from Ziph got up and left Saul, while David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon in the Arabah south of Jeshimon.

²⁵ When Saul and his men went to search for David,^[a] some people^[b] told David, and he went down to the Rock of Escape^[c] and remained in the wilderness of Maon. Saul heard this and he pursued David into the wilderness of Maon.
