1 Samuel Chapter 25, and everyone in Israel mourned him. He was buried in Ramah. David then moved to the Desert of Paran. A Calebite named Nabal had property there. He was married to Abigail who was beautiful and intelligent. Nabal was a very wealthy man who owned many sheep. He was also a surly, unpleasant man.
1 Samuel Chapter 26, Saul was at Gibeah when the Ziphites came to him and asked if David was hiding on Hakilah Hill facing Jeshimon. Saul decided to take 3,000 Israelite soldiers to the Desert of Ziph and look for David. He camped on the roadside near Hakilah Hill.
