23:28So Saul stopped pursuing David and went to confront the Philistines. Therefore that place is called Sela Hammahlekoth.1923:29 (24:1)20 Then David went up from there and stayed in the strongholds of En Gedi.
Footnotes
- 19 The name הַמַּחְלְקוֹת סֶלַע (Sela Hammakhleqoth) probably means “Rock of Divisions” in Hebrew, in the sense that Saul and David parted company there (cf. “Gorge of Divisions”; “Separation Hill”). This etymology assumes that the word derives from the Hebrew root II חלק (khlq, “to divide”; II חלק). However, there is another root I חלק, which means “to be smooth or slippery” ( I חלק). If the word is taken from this root, the expression would mean “Slippery Rock.”
- 20 Beginning with 23:29, the verse numbers through 24:22 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (), with 23:29 = 24:1 , 24:1 = 24:2 , 24:2 = 24:3 , etc., through 24:22 = 24:23 . With 25:1 the verse numbers in the and are again the same.
