Saul con la sua gente partì in cerca di lui; ma Davide, che ne fu informato, scese dalla roccia e rimase nel deserto di Maon. E quando Saul lo seppe, andò in traccia di Davide nel deserto di Maon.

La Nuova Diodati
Quando Saul e i suoi uomini andarono a cercarlo, Davide fu avvertito, perci egli scese alla roccia e rimase nel deserto di Maon. Quando Saul lo seppe diede la caccia a Davide nel deserto di Maon.
Giovanni Diodati Bibbia
E Saulle, con la sua gente, andò per cercarlo. Ma, la cosa essendo stata rapportata a Davide, egli scese dalla rocca, e dimorò ancora nel deserto di Maon. E Saulle, avendolo inteso, perseguitò Davide nel deserto di Maon.

Reciprocal: Joshua 15:55 - Maon Judges 10:12 - the Maonites 1 Chronicles 11:16 - in the hold

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Saul also and his men went to seek [him],.... Whether the Ziphites returned to him with better intelligence, or sent him word where David was, is not said, however Saul with his army came out in search of him:

and they told David; or it was told him, that Saul was come in quest of him:

wherefore he came down into a rock; either into a cave in it, or he came down from the hill Hachilah to a plain or valley, in order to go up to a rock, the same with the mountain in 1 Samuel 23:26:

and abode in the wilderness of Maon; in which was the rock or mountain he came to:

and when Saul heard [that], he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon; for upon the intelligence of the Ziphites, he came out to seek for him in the wilderness of Ziph, but hearing that he was removed to the wilderness of Maon, he pursued him there.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 23:25. The wilderness of Maon. — Maon was a mountainous district in the most southern parts of Judah. Calmet supposes it to be the city of Menois, which Eusebius places in the vicinity of Gaza; and the Maenaemi Castrum, which the Theodosian code places near to Beersheba.
