First Samuel 23:14

And David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds [natural strongholds, caves, and cliffs that provided shelter—Hebr. masad; the same word as the famous ancient fortress Masada in the Negev desert] and remained in the mountains in the wilderness of Ziph. [Tel Sif is located just south of Hebron, a barren area with few inhabitants, where it is easy to hide.] And Saul sought him every day, but God (Elohim) did not deliver him into his hand.
