Kommentar zu Schemuel I 23:28
וַיָּ֣שָׁב שָׁא֗וּל מִרְדֹף֙ אַחֲרֵ֣י דָוִ֔ד וַיֵּ֖לֶךְ לִקְרַ֣את פְּלִשְׁתִּ֑ים עַל־כֵּ֗ן קָֽרְאוּ֙ לַמָּק֣וֹם הַה֔וּא סֶ֖לַע הַֽמַּחְלְקֽוֹת׃
Also kehrte Saul von der Verfolgung nach David zurück und ging gegen die Philister; deshalb nannten sie diesen Ort Sela-hammahlekoth.
Rashi on I Samuel
The "Rock of Divisions." Shaul's heart was divided by two thoughts,6Or it may refer to the division among Shaul’s troops as to whether to pursue Dovid or to battle the Philistines.—Radak whether to return to save his country from the Philistines, or to pursue and catch Dovid; thus renders Targum Yonoson.
