Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Selahammahlekoth. {Selahammahlekoth: that is, The rock of divisions}

In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness. {that...: Heb. of slanders}

Take away the wicked {from} before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.

If a ruler hearken to lies, all his servants {are} wicked.

(Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and {in} mountains, and {in} dens and caves of the earth.

And David went up from thence, and dwelt in strong holds at Engedi.
