1 De là David monta vers les lieux forts d’En-Guédi, où il demeura.

2 Lorsque Saül fut revenu de la poursuite des Philistins, on vint lui dire: Voici, David est dans le désert d’En-Guédi.

3 Saül prit trois mille hommes d’élite sur tout Israël, et il alla chercher David et ses gens jusque sur les rochers des boucs sauvages.

4 Il arriva à des parcs de brebis, qui étaient près du chemin; et là se trouvait une caverne, où il entra pour se couvrir les pieds. David et ses gens étaient au fond de la caverne.

5 Les gens de David lui dirent: Voici le jour où l’Éternel te dit: Je livre ton ennemi entre tes mains; traite-le comme bon te semblera. David se leva, et coupa doucement le pan du manteau de Saül.
