Where does the Bible mention David hiding from Saul in a cave?

In 1st Samuel 22:1 David escapes to a cave from the Philistines: David has been living in Gath in Philistia, acting like a madman to keep king Achish from killing him (chapter 21). He then escapes to the cave of Adullam, and it is assumed by most scholars that he is escaping from Achish here, not from Saul. In 1st Samuel 24:3-4 Saul enters a cave and David is hiding there, David cuts off the corner of Saul’s robe and escapes. This takes place in the Desert of En Gedi, near the Crag of Wild Goats (verses 1 and 2). Hope one of these is what you are looking for!
