The men of Ziph went to Saul in Gibeah and betrayed David to him. They said, he is in the strongholds of Horesh and whenever Saul was ready they would hand him over.
Saul blessed them since he was happy that at last someone was concerned about him.
Saul reinsured things Since he knew that David was a very crafty person.
Meanwhile, David and his men had moved into the wilderness of Maon because he heard that Saul was searching for him.
But Saul kept after him in the wilderness too. Saul and David were now on opposite sides of a mountain.
Just as Saul and his men came close to David and his men, an urgent message reached Saul that the Philistines were raiding Israel again.
So Saul quit chasing David and returned to fight the Philistines.
Ever since that time, the place where David was camped has been called the Rock of Escape. (1 Samuel 23:19-28 NLT)
To Ponder:
Isaiah 43:1-2 says, "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you.
Yes! Though we walk through tough times in life, we might feel that we are done for. But He will show us an escape route. So take courage!!!
