("the stone".) Near Saul's house, the scene of David and Jonathan's parting (1 Samuel 20:19). At 1 Samuel 20:41 instead of "out of a place toward the S." Smith's Bible Dictionary reads, "David arose from close to the stone heap" ('argob for negeb; so Septuagint). But KJV is better, from the side of the S., in relation to Jonathan's position; accordingly David next flees southward, to Nob.
From the co-author of the classic Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary, Fausset's Bible Dictionary stands as one of the best single-volume Bible encyclopedias ever written for general use. The author's writing style is always clear and concise, and he tackles issues important to the average student of the Bible, not just the Biblical scholars. This makes Fausset an excellent tool for both everyday Bible study and in-depth lesson or sermon preparation.Wikipedia
