1 Samuel 24:1

DavidSaulEngedi
After Saul had returned from pursuing the Philistines, he was told, “David is in the wilderness of En-gedi.”

2 So Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel and went to look for David and his men in the region of the Rocks of the Wild Goats.

3 Soon Saul came to the sheepfolds along the road, where there was a cave, and he went in to relieve himself. And David and his men were hiding in the recesses of the cave.
