1 Samuel 22:1-3

Good News Translation

The Slaughter of the Priests

22 ^(A)David fled from the city of Gath and went to a cave near the town of Adullam. When his brothers and the rest of the family heard that he was there, they joined him. ² People who were oppressed or in debt or dissatisfied went to him, about four hundred men in all, and he became their leader.

³ David went on from there to Mizpah in Moab and said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother come and stay with you until I find out what God is going to do for me.”
