1Sa 23:25-26 | MHM | STEP | v. 25-26 : Saul chased David closely and came so near that only a mountain separated them (1 Samuel 23:25-26 ). David and his men hid on one side, while Saul and his soldiers waited on the other. This mountain acted like God’s protection, just as the pillar of cloud separated the Israelites from the Egyptians (Exodus 14:19-20 ). David fled like a bird to his mountain (Psalm 11:1 ), finding safety in God’s care. Saul hoped to surround David with his large army, but the rough land stopped his plan.
