23:13 So David and his men, who numbered about six hundred, set out and left Keilah; they moved around from one place to another. 1 When told that David had escaped from Keilah, Saul called a halt to his expedition. 23:14 David stayed in the strongholds that were in the desert and in the hill country of the desert of Ziph. Saul looked for him all the time, 2 but God did not deliver David 3 into his hand. 23:15 David realized 4 that Saul had come out to seek his life; at that time David was in Horesh in the desert of Ziph.
23:16 Then Jonathan son of Saul left and went to David at Horesh. He encouraged him 5 through God.
