1. Samuelsbok 23,14

DavidSaulZiph
Protection and safetyGod's presence

12 Da sa David: "Vil mennene i Ke'ila overgi meg og mine menn til Saul?" Og Herren sa: "De vil overgi deg."

13 Så reiste David og hans menn, omkring seks hundre, seg og forlot Ke'ila, og de dro hvor de kunne dra. Da det ble rapportert til Saul at David hadde rømt fra Ke'ila, ga han opp jakten.

David ble i ørkenens festninger og forble i fjellandet i Zifs ørken. Og Saul lette etter ham hver dag, men Gud overgav ham ikke til ham.

15 David innså at Saul hadde kommet ut for å søke hans liv, mens han var i Zifs ørken, ved Horesh.

16 Og Jonatan, Sauls sønn, dro til David ved Horesh og styrket hans tro på Gud.
