Parallel
1 Samuel 23:28
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
Wherefore Saul returned from pursuing after David, and went against the Philistines: therefore they called that place Sela–hammahlekoth.
So Saul broke off his pursuit of David and went to meet the Philistines. That is why that place is called Sela-hammahlekoth (note: Sela-hammahlekoth means Rock of Escape.).
