I Samuel 19:18 Talmud References: Zevachim

וְדָוִ֨ד בָּרַ֜ח וַיִּמָּלֵ֗ט וַיָּבֹ֤א אֶל־שְׁמוּאֵל֙ הָרָמָ֔תָה וַיַּ֨גֶּד־ל֔וֹ אֵ֛ת כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָֽשָׂה־ל֖וֹ שָׁא֑וּל וַיֵּ֤לֶךְ הוּא֙ וּשְׁמוּאֵ֔ל וַיֵּשְׁב֖וּ בנוית [בְּנָֽיוֹת׃]

Now David fled, and escaped, and came to Samuel to Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and dwelt in Naioth.

Zevachim

Rava taught: What is meant by the verse “…and he asked, and said, "Where are Samuel and David?" And (one) said, ‘Behold, at Naioth in Ramah.’” (Shmuel I 19:22) What connection is there between Naioth and Ramah? It means, rather, that they sat at Ramah and were engaged with the beauty (noiyo) of the world.
