TSK · 1 Chronicles 12:8

(24:1) Then David went up from there and stayed in the strongholds of En Gedi.

Saul and Jonathan were greatly loved during their lives, and not even in their deaths were they separated. They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.

If that happens even the bravest soldier– one who is lion-hearted– will virtually melt away. For all Israel knows that your father is a warrior and that those who are with him are brave.

David was in the stronghold at the time, while a Philistine garrison was in Bethlehem.

Some from Benjamin and Judah also came to David’s stronghold.

Deliver yourself like a gazelle from a snare, and like a bird from the trap of the fowler.

The Beloved to Her Lover: Make haste, my beloved! Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.
