1 Samuel 26:1-4

Living Bible

26 Now the men from Ziph came back to Saul at Gibeah to tell him that David had returned to the wilderness and was hiding on Hachilah Hill. ² So Saul took his elite corps of three thousand troops and went to hunt him down. ^3-4 Saul camped along the road at the edge of the wilderness where David was hiding, but David knew of Saul’s arrival and sent out spies to watch his movements.
