_ _ come to the place where thou didst hide thyself when the business was in handHebrew, “in the day,” or “time of the business,” when the same matter was under inquiry formerly (1 Samuel 19:22).

_ _ remain by the stone EzelHebrew, “the stone of the way”; a sort of milestone which directed travelers. He was to conceal himself in some cave or hiding-place near that spot.
