1 Samuel24:2
2 Then Saul took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went to seek David and his men upon the rocks of the wild goats .

And yet Saul was so transported with Rage, as to venture himself and his Army here, that he might take David, who, as he thought, would judge himself safe, and therefore be secure in such inaccessible places.
