1 SAMUEL 26:1 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, Doth not David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?”
Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, 'Is not David hiding in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the east of Jeshimon?' — for a second time, the Ziphites betray David's location to Saul ('ʿal-gib'at hakkhakhlîl'), repeating their treachery from chapter 23. The phrase 'ʾal-penê hammidbār' emphasizes David's vulnerability as a hunted fugitive in the wilderness.
