1 So David escaped from that place and fled to the cave at Adullam. When his brothers and all [the rest] of his family heard about it, they went to him. 2 Then everyone who was in trouble, in debt, or bitter about life joined him, and he became their commander. There were about four hundred men with him. 3 From there David went to Mizpah in Moab. He asked the king of Moab, |Please let my father and mother stay with you until I know what God is going to do for me.| 4 He brought them to the king of Moab, and they stayed with him as long as David was living in his fortified camp. 5 |Don't live in your fortified camp,| the prophet Gad told David. |Go to the land of Judah.| So David went to the forest of Hereth. 1 Samuel 22:1-5, God's Word Translation.
