1 Samuel 23:28
<< 1 Samuel 23:28 >>
So Saul returned from pursuing David and went to meet the Philistines; therefore they called that place the Rock of Escape. (NASB ©1995)

1 Samuel 23:27 But a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Hurry and come, for the Philistines have made a raid on the land."

1 Samuel 23:29 David went up from there and stayed in the strongholds of Engedi. (NASB ©1995)


Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammahlekoth.

Sela-hammahlekoth. that is, the rock of divisions. Because, says the Targum, `the heart of the king was divided to go hither and thither.' Here Saul was obliged to separate himself from David, in order to go and oppose the invading Philistines; which deliverance of David was of such a nature as made the Divine interposition fully visible.
