1 Samuel 23:26 WEB

²⁴  They arose, and went to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah on the south of the desert.

²⁵  Saul and his men went to seek him. They told David: why he came down to the rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. When Saul heard [that], he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.

²⁶  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  But there came a messenger to Saul, saying, Haste you, and come; for the Philistines have made a raid on the land.

²⁸  So Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Sela Hammahlekoth.
