And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I {am} with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.

They were ware of {it}, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:

And David abode in the wilderness in strong holds, and remained in a mountain in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand.
