1 The Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah. "David is hiding on Hachilah’s hill, which faces Jeshimon," they said.
2 So Saul got up and went down to the Ziph wilderness to look for David there. He had three thousand handpicked soldiers from Israel with him.
3 Saul camped on Hachilah’s hill opposite Jeshimon beside the road, but David stayed in the wilderness. When David learned that Saul had come after him into the wilderness,
4 he sent spies and discovered that Saul had definitely arrived.
