Saul arose.
1 S. 23:23‑25• 23Considerad pues, y ved todos los escondrijos donde se oculta, y volved á mí con la certidumbre, y yo iré con vosotros: que si él estuviere en la tierra, yo le buscaré entre todos los millares de Judá.
 24Y ellos se levantaron, y se fueron á Ziph delante de Saúl. Mas David y su gente estaban en el desierto de Maón, en la llanura que está á la diestra del desierto.
 25Y partióse Saúl con su gente á buscarlo; pero fué dado aviso á David, y descendió á la peña, y quedóse en el desierto de Maón. Lo cual como Saúl oyó, siguió á David al desierto de Maón. (1 S. 23:23‑25)
;
1 S. 24:17• 17Y dijo á David: Más justo eres tú que yo, que me has pagado con bien, habiéndote yo pagado con mal. (1 S. 24:17)
;
Sal. 38:12• 12Y los que buscaban mi alma armaron lazos; Y los que procuraban mi mal hablaban iniquidades, Y meditaban fraudes todo el día. (Sal. 38:12)
;
Sal. 140:4‑9• 4Guárdame, oh Jehová, de manos del impío, Presérvame del hombre injurioso; Que han pensado de trastornar mis pasos.
 5Hanme escondido lazo y cuerdas los soberbios; Han tendido red junto á la senda; Me han puesto lazos. (Selah.)
 6He dicho á Jehová: Dios mío eres tú; Escucha, oh Jehová, la voz de mis ruegos.
 7Jehová Señor, fortaleza de mi salud, Tú pusiste á cubierto mi cabeza el día de las armas.
 8No des, oh Jehová, al impío sus deseos; No saques adelante su pensamiento, que no se ensoberbezca. (Selah.)
 9En cuanto á los que por todas partes me rodean, La maldad de sus propios labios cubrirá su cabeza. (Sal. 140:4‑9)
three thousand.
1 S. 24:2• 2Y tomando Saúl tres mil hombres escogidos de todo Israel, fué en busca de David y de los suyos, por las cumbres de los peñascos de las cabras monteses. (1 S. 24:2)
• Saul has forgotten everything: the grace which spared him in the cave of En-gedi, his own words of repentance, and the generous oath that David had sworn to him to spare his seed. His old hatred rises again; a proposal from the Ziphites is enough to kindle the fire smoldering within him. (“1 Samuel 26” by H.L. Rossier)
