1 Samuel 23:27-29

Contemporary English Version

²⁷ when a messenger came to Saul and said, “Come quickly! The Philistines are attacking Israel and taking everything.”

²⁸ Saul stopped going after David and went back to fight the Philistines. That's why the place is called “Escape Rock.”

²⁹ David left and went to live in the hideouts at En-Gedi.
