2 Saul então se levantou, e desceu ao deserto de Zife, levando consigo três mil homens escolhidos de Israel, para buscar a Davi no deserto de Zife.

3 E assentou Saul o campo no morro de Haquilá, que está diante do deserto junto ao caminho. E estava Davi no deserto, e entendeu que Saul lhe seguia no deserto.

4 Davi, portanto, enviou espias, e entendeu por certo que Saul havia vindo.

5 E levantou-se Davi, e veio ao lugar de onde Saul havia assentado o acampamento; e olhou Davi o lugar de onde dormia Saul, e Abner filho de Ner, general de seu exército. E estava Saul dormindo na trincheira, e o povo pelo acampamento em derredor dele.

6 Então falou Davi, e perguntou a Aimeleque Heteu, e a Abisai filho de Zeruia, irmão de Joabe, dizendo: Quem descerá comigo a Saul ao campo: E disse Abisai: Eu descerei contigo.
