1 Samuel 26:2-4

2 Saul took three thousand of Israel’s best soldiers and went to look for David there in Ziph Desert.

3 Saul set up camp on Mount Hachilah, which is across the road from Jeshimon. But David was hiding out in the desert. When David heard that Saul was following him,

4 he sent some spies to find out if it was true.
