5 In time Gad+ the prophet said to David: “You must not keep dwelling in the inaccessible place. Go away, and you must come yourself into the land of Judah.”+ Hence David went away and came into the forest of Heʹreth.

14 And David took up dwelling in the wilderness in places difficult to approach, and he kept dwelling in the mountainous region in the wilderness of Ziph.+ And Saul kept looking for him always,+ and God* did not give him into his hand.+
