1 Samuel 22:1-4 ▼

1 So David departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam; and his brothers and all his father’s household heard of it and went down there to him.

2 Then everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was bitter of soul, gathered to him; and he became a commander over them. Now there were about four hundred men with him.

3 And David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come and stay with you until I know what God will do for me.”

4 Then he left them with the king of Moab; and they stayed with him all the time that David was in the fortress.
