Saul, therefore, took three thousand chosen men out of all Israel, and went out to seek after David and his men, even upon the most craggy rocks, which are accessible only to wild goats.
וַיִּקַּ֣ח שָׁא֗וּל שְׁלֹ֧שֶׁת אֲלָפִ֛ים אִ֥ישׁ בָּח֖וּר מִכָּל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיֵּ֗לֶךְ לְבַקֵּ֤שׁ אֶת־דָּוִד֙ וַֽאֲנָשָׁ֔יו עַל־פְּנֵ֖י צוּרֵ֥י הַיְּעֵלִֽים׃
One Church Father comments on this verse
Despite David's escape, Saul was relentless in his pursuit. He sought out David with the intent to harm, even though David had not wronged him in any respect. On the contrary, Saul had endured significant wrongs at David's hands, yet in response to these grievances, he had still acted with considerable kindness.
