14 And David remained in the strongholds in the wilderness, in the hill country of the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not give him into his hand.

David Spares Saul’s Life

1 When Saul returned from following the Philistines, he was told, “Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.”

23 And all the land wept aloud as all the people passed by, and the king crossed the brook ⁱKidron, and all the people passed on toward the wilderness.

28 See, I will wait at the ^pfords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me.”
