What does 1 Samuel 23:26-29 mean? Commentary, explanation and study verse by verse.
And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men compassed David and his men round about to take them.
But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invadedc the land.
Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammahlekoth.d
And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at Engedi.
