1 Samuel 22:2-4

Easy-to-Read Version

² Many people joined David. There were men who were in some kind of trouble, men who owed a lot of money, and men who were just not satisfied with life. All kinds of people joined David, and he became their leader. He had about 400 men with him.

³ David left Adullam and went to Mizpah in Moab. David said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother come and stay with you until I learn what God is going to do to me.” ⁴ So David left his parents with the king of Moab. They stayed with the king of Moab as long as David was at the fort.
