1 SAMUEL 23:26 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And 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 compassed David and his men round about to take them.”
And Saul and his men went to seek him; and word was brought to David, and he went down to the rock and remained in the wilderness of Maon — David's *va'yetzet David el ha'sela va'yesheb ba'midbar Ma'on* (went down to the rock, remained in the wilderness of Maon) represents another withdrawal, a further fugitive retreat. The rock (*sela*) becomes another refuge, another place of temporary hiding.
