Now when Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, he was told, Behold, David is in the wilderness of En-gedi — the intelligence (*va'yishma ki David ba'midbar En-gedi*) is delivered to Saul upon his return from the Philistine campaign, renewing the pursuit. The *vayikach alef ish*, he took three thousand men, an enormous force, suggests that Saul intends to crush David decisively.
