1 SAMUEL 27:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And it was told Saul that David was fled to Gath: and he sought no more again for him.”
And when Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, he sought for him no more — Saul's abandonment of the pursuit ('lōʾ yōsaph ʿôd lbaqquš ʾōtô') reflects the success of David's strategic move, yet also Saul's inability to follow into Philistine lands. The spatial boundary (David now outside Israel) becomes a merciful reprieve from the relentless pursuit.
