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.
