19. Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, Does not David hide himself with us in strongholds in the wood [at Horesh], on the hill of Hachilah, which is south of Jeshimon?
20. Now come down, O king, according to all your heart's desire to come down, and our part shall be to deliver him into the king's hands.
21. And Saul said, The Lord bless you, for you have compassion on me.
22. Go, make yet more sure; and know and see where his haunt is and who has seen him there; for I am told he deals very craftily.
23. See and take note of all his hiding places and come back to me with the certain facts, and I will go with you. If he is in the land, I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah.
24. So they arose and went to Ziph ahead of Saul. Now David and his men were in the Wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah south of Jeshimon.
