³ And David went there to Mizpah in Moab, and 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 And he brought them before the king of Moab, and they dwelt with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.

⁵ And the Prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Depart and go into the land of Judah.” Then David departed and came into the forest of Hereth.
