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.

7 Davi pois e Abisai vieram ao povo de noite: e eis que Saul que estava estendido dormindo na trincheira, e sua lança fincada em terra à sua cabeceira; e Abner e o povo estavam ao redor dele estendidos.
