1 Samuel 22:1-5

The Voice

22 That is how David escaped, and from there, he went to the cave of Adullam to hide. When his brothers and the rest of his family heard he was there, they went down to be with him. ² A group gathered around him, composed of those who were in debt or who were not content with Saul or who were in trouble. Soon David was captain of about 400 such men.

³ David traveled then to Mizpah in Moab, the homeland of his great-grandmother, Ruth, to address the king of Moab.

⁴ So David left his parents there, and they remained with the king of Moab as long as David remained in the stronghold.

⁵ David was visited later by Gad the prophet.

So David left that place and went into the forest of Hereth.
