1 Samuel 25

And Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together, and lamented him, and buried him in his house at Ramah. And David arose, and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
A morte de Samuel marca o fim de uma era (comparar com 1sm28:3). Davi, em fuga de Saul, busca refúgio no deserto, mostrando sua situação instável mesmo sendo o ungido.
