In context

15While David was in Horesh in the Wilderness of Ziph, he saw that Saul had come out to take his life.

16And Saul’s son Jonathan came to David in Horesh and strengthened his hand in God,

17Saying, “Do not be afraid, for my father Saul will never lay a hand on you. And you will be king over Israel, and I will be your second-in-command. Even my father Saul knows this is true.”

18So the two of them made a covenant before the LORD. And David remained in Horesh, while Jonathan went home.

19Then the Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding among us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah south of Jeshimon?
