1 Samuel 22:2-4
New English Translation
2 All those who were in trouble or owed someone money or were discontented[a] gathered around[b] him, and he became their leader. He had about 400 men with him.
3 Then David went from there to Mizpah in Moab, where he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother stay[c] with you until I know what God is going to do for me.” 4 So he had them stay with the king of Moab; they stayed with him the whole time[d] that David was in the stronghold.
