1 Once again, some people from Ziph went to Gibeah to talk with Saul. “David has a hideout on Mount Hachilah near Jeshimon out in the desert,” they told him.
2 Saul took three thousand of Israel's best soldiers and went to look for David there in Ziph Desert.
3 Saul set up camp on Mount Hachilah, which is across the road from Jeshimon. But David was hiding out in the desert.When David heard that Saul was following him,
4 he sent some spies to find out if it was true.
