¹¹ The next morning the word of the Lord came to the prophet Gad, who was David’s seer. This was the message:

⁵ One day the prophet Gad told David, “Leave the stronghold and return to the land of Judah.” So David went to the forest of Hereth.

⁹ (In those days if people wanted a message from God, they would say, “Let’s go and ask the seer,” for prophets used to be called seers.)

²⁹ All the events of King David’s reign, from beginning to end, are written in The Record of Samuel the Seer, The Record of Nathan the Prophet, and The Record of Gad the Seer.

¹⁹ After Azubah died, Caleb married Ephrathah,^[a] and they had a son named Hur.
