Below is a summary from the ESV Global Study Bible of 18 places David fled The following notes are modified from ESV notes to include the related Scriptures. David’s growing reputation fueled Saul’s jealousy which soon flamed into a desire to murder David (1Sa 19:9-10). (1) David fled from Saul in Gibeah (1Sa 19:9-10) and then from his home (1Sa 19:11-17) (2) After Saul tried unsuccessfully to kill him in his home, he fled to Samuel at Naioth in Ramah (1Sa 19:18) (3), Saul sought David in Naioth of Ramah, but the Spirit saved him (1Sa 19:19-24), and he fled back to meet Jonathan in Gibeah where Jonathan sent an "arrow-gram" warning David of Saul’s determination to kill him(1Sa 20:1-42) (4). David then fled to Ahimelech the priest at Nob where he collected food and Goliath’s sword. (1Sa 21:1-9) (5), David briefly sought refuge in the Philistine city of Gath (1Sa 21:10-15) (6) David then escaped to set up headquarters at the cave of Adullam where his army swelled to 400 men. (1Sa 22:1-2) (7), In order to protect his parents from harm, David left them in the care of the king of Moab at Mizpah (1Sa 22:3-4) (8) and went to live in “the stronghold”, the cave of Adullam (1Sa 22:1, 4) (9). Prophet Gad warns Davie and he went to the forest of Hereth (1Sa 22:5) (10) and then left to rescue nearby Keilah from some Philistine raiding parties. (1Sa 23:1-5) (11) When David heard that Saul was coming to Keilah, he and his 600 men fled Keilah. (1Sa 23:9-13) David relocated to the wilderness of Ziph (1Sa 23:14) (12) After the men of Ziph betrayed David to Saul (1Sa 23:19-20), David and his men went to live in the wilderness of Maon (1Sa 23:24-25) and narrowly escaped capture there by Saul (1Sa 23:26-28) (13) . Fleeing the strongholds of Engedi (1Sa 23:29) David again evaded capture by Saul and refused an opportunity to take Saul’s life. (1Sa 24:1-22) (14) After Samuel's death (1Sa 25:1) David went to the wilderness of Paran (1Sa 25:1) (15). While he was there, David was again betrayed to Saul by the men of Ziph and refused another opportunity to take Saul’s life. (1Sa 26:1-25) (16) Finally, David and his men sought refuge with Achish, the king of Gath (1Sa 27:1-12) Below is another map from the Holman Bible Atlas (digital book; Hardcover) Click to enlarge - from the Holman Bible Atlas (digital book; Hardcover) copyright © 1998 B&H Publishing Group, used by permission, all rights reserved.
