Saul also and his men went to seek him. And they told David; wherefore he came down into a rock, and abode in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.

Verse 25 is found in chapter 23 of 1 Samuel. The inhabitants of Ziph inform Saul about David’s location, beginning another pursuit. David repeatedly escapes while Saul surrounds him in the wilderness. When the Philistines attack again, Saul must abandon the pursuit to respond to the national threat. The scene shows providence operating through ordinary political and military events. David does not need to destroy Saul to survive; circumstances repeatedly open paths of escape.
