Read 1 Samuel 23.15-19
In verse 17: The recognition that David will be king and Jonathan the second in command is extraordinary in the mouth of Jonathan himself, the crown prince.
In verses 19-29: Saul is frustrated that David stays one jump ahead of him, which he is able to do because of the ephod (v. 22) shows Yahweh's protection of David.
This time (v. 26) David is trapped on one side of a hill which Saul's force is circling from both directions.
The last-minute notice about the Philistines (v. 27) shows Yahweh's protection of David.
Either meaning for the etiology in v. 28 ('rock of escape" or "rock of division") is appropriate in the context of this story.
