1 Samuel 23:17 YLT

¹⁵  And David seeth that Saul hath come out to seek his life, and David 'is' in the wilderness of Ziph, in a forest.

¹⁶  And Jonathan son of Saul riseth, and goeth unto David to the forest, and strengtheneth his hand in God,

¹⁷  and saith unto him, 'Fear not, for the hand of Saul my father doth not find thee, and thou dost reign over Israel, and I am to thee for second, and also so knoweth Saul my father.'

¹⁸  And they make a covenant both of them before Jehovah; and David abideth in the forest, and Jonathan hath gone to his house.

¹⁹  And the Ziphites go up unto Saul to Gibeah, saying, 'Is not David hiding himself with us in fortresses, in the forest, in the height of Hachilah, which 'is' on the south of the desolate place?
