1 Samuel 23:14-16
New English Translation
14 David stayed in the strongholds that were in the desert and in the hill country of the wilderness of Ziph. Saul looked for him all the time,[a] but God did not deliver David[b] into his hands. 15 David realized[c] that Saul had come out to seek his life; at that time David was in Horesh in the wilderness of Ziph.
16 Then Jonathan son of Saul left and went to David at Horesh. He encouraged him[d] through God.
