1 Samuel 23:28 - John Wesley's Notes

1 Samuel 23:28

26 Then Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain. ^aSo David made haste to get away from Saul, for Saul and his men ^bwere encircling David and his men to take them.

27 ^aBut a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, for the Philistines have invaded the land!”

28 Therefore Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines; so they called that place¹ the Rock of Escape.

29 Then David went up from there and dwelt in strongholds at ^aEn Gedi.
