And it was told Saul by some, saying: Behold David is in Najoth in Ramatha.

And it is declared to Saul, saying, 'Lo, David is in Naioth in Ramah.'

And word was given to Saul that David was at Naioth in Ramah.

Then it was reported to Saul by some, saying, "Behold, David is at Naioth, in Ramah."

And it was told Saul,.... By some officious persons who saw David at Ramah, and observed that he and Samuel went together to Naioth:
saying, behold, David is at Naioth, in Ramah; or near it; according to R. Isaiah, Ramah was the name of a hill, or mountain, so called from its height, and Naioth the name of a place on it; it signifies pastures and pleasant places, as meadows and pastures are; and here in the fields near Ramah was the house of doctrine, as the Targum calls it, or the school of the prophets, being pleasant and retired, and fit for study.
