David Shames Saul
24 Now Saul had chased the Philistines away. Then he was told, “David is in the Desert of En Gedi.” 2 So he chose 3,000 men from all Israel. He took these men and began looking for David and his men. They looked near the Rocks of the Wild Goats.
3 Saul came to the sheep pens beside the road. A cave was there, and he went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were hiding far back in the cave.
