25. And Saul and his men went to seek him, and they told David, so he went down to the rock and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard this, he pursued David into the wilderness of Maon.
26. Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men went on the other side of the mountain. David was hurrying to get away from Saul, while Saul and his men were closing in on David and his men to capture them.
27. But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, because the Philistines have made a raid on the land!”
28. So Saul returned from pursuing David, and he went to confront the Philistines. Therefore, they called that place the Rock of Division.
29. David went up from there and stayed in the strongholds of En Gedi.
