1 Samuel 22:1-5

1 Samuel 22:1-5 MEV

David departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. And when his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down to him there. Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. Now there were with him about four hundred men. Then David went from there to Mizpah of Moab. And he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come forth and be with you until I know what God will do for me.” He brought them before the king of Moab, and they lived with him all the while that David was in the stronghold. The prophet Gad said to David, “Do not remain in the stronghold. Go to the land of Judah.” So David went and came to the forest of Hereth.
