1 Samuel 23 — Context

And Saul and his men went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men went on the other: and David's purpose was to get away as quickly as possible, for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men were making a circle round David and his men in order to take them.

But a man came to Saul saying, Be quick and come; for the Philistines have made an attack on the land.

So turning back from going after David, Saul went against the Philistines: so that place was named Sela-hammah-lekoth.

And from there, David went up and took cover in the safe place of En-gedi.
