Therefore Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines; so they called that place the Rock of Escape.

Then David went up from there and dwelt in strongholds at En Gedi.

Then the Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Is David not hiding with us in strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which [is] on the south of Jeshimon?

Take away the wicked from before the king, And his throne will be established in righteousness.

If a ruler pays attention to lies, All his servants [become] wicked.

"In you are men who slander to cause bloodshed; in you are those who eat on the mountains; in your midst they commit lewdness.

They make a king glad with their wickedness, And princes with their lies.

Then David went up from there and dwelt in strongholds at En Gedi.
