Psalm 120 (Vulg., 119):
David: at Engedi (Saul within Cave) -- Behind rocky outcropping, mounted soldiers, crowned, holding shield, extends right arm behind him toward crowd of mounted soldiers, holding lances. One mounted soldier holds standard, inscribed SAUL. All soldiers in armor. Within rocky outcropping, Saul, crowned, in armor, enters cave.
