sē - la - ha - ma´lḗ - koth , - kōth ( המּחלקות סלע , ṣela‛ha - maḥleḳōth ; πέτρα ἡ μερισθεῖσα , pétra hē meristheı́sa ): "The rock of divisions ( or , escape)" ( 1 Samuel 23:28 margin). "Saul ... pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon. And Saul went on this side of the mountain, and David and his men on that side of the mountain: and David made haste to get away for fear of Saul" ( 1 Samuel 23:25 , 1 Samuel 23:26 ). The name seems to survive in Wâdy Malāki , "the great gorge which breaks down between Carmel and Maon eastward, with vertical cliffs" (PEF , III, 314, Sh. XXI ).
