1 Samuel 25:20

came down by the covert of the hill Abigail was apparently riding down a defile between two hills, which is called "the covert" (lit. "the secret place of the mountain"), because it was concealed from observation. David's troop came down the opposite hill to meet her. "Covert" from Fr. couvertmeans shelter, hiding-place. On "against" see 1 Samuel 9:14.
