Morabatur autem David in deserto in locis firmissimis, mansitque in monte solitudinis Ziph, in monte opaco : qurebat eum tamen Saul cunctis diebus : et non tradidit eum Deus in manus ejus.
Et David erat in prsidio: porro statio Philisthinorum tunc erat in Bethlehem.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And David [was] then in an hold,.... In a strong hold; the strong hold of Zion, as Josephus x, or one on a rock near the cave of Adullam, see 1 Chronicles 11:15;
and the garrison of the Philistines [was] then [in] Bethlehem; which was about six miles from Jerusalem; the valley of Rephaim lay between that and Bethlehem; so far had they got into the land of Judea, and such footing in it, as to have a garrison so near its metropolis.
x Antiqu. l. 7. c. 12. sect. 4.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
In an hold - In “the hold” 1 Chronicles 11:16 close to the cave of Adullam (marginal reference note). It shows the power and daring of the Philistines that they should hold a post so far in the country as Bethlehem.
