1 Samuel 23:28 in Context — 1 Samuel 23
26 Saül marchait d’un côté de la montagne, et David avec ses gens de l’autre côté de la montagne. David fuyait précipitamment pour échapper à Saül. Mais déjà Saül et ses gens entouraient David et les siens pour s’emparer d’eux,
27 lorsqu’un messager vint dire à Saül: Hâte-toi de venir, car les Philistins ont fait invasion dans le pays.
28 Saül cessa de poursuivre David, et il s’en retourna pour aller à la rencontre des Philistins. C’est pourquoi l’on appela ce lieu Séla-Hammachlekoth.
29 And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at En–gedi.
