## 1 Samuel 23:25 in Context (Verses 22–28 KJV)
 
 [22 ](/kjv/1-samuel/23/22) Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and see his place where his haunt is, *and* who hath seen him there: for it is told me *that* he dealeth very subtilly.*
 
 [23 ](/kjv/1-samuel/23/23) See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hideth himself, and come ye again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you: and it shall come to pass, if he be in the land, that I will search him out throughout all the thousands of Judah.
 
 [24 ](/kjv/1-samuel/23/24) And they arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men *were* in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon.
 
 [25 ](/kjv/1-samuel/23/25) Saul also and his men went to seek *him*. And they told David: wherefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard *that*, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.*
 
 [26 ](/kjv/1-samuel/23/26) 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.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/1-samuel/23/27) ¶ But there came a messenger unto Saul, saying, Haste thee, and come; for the Philistines have invaded the land.*
 
 [28 ](/kjv/1-samuel/23/28) Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Sela-hammahlekoth.*
