22:1 David moves around but gains followers

22So David left there and slipped away to the cave at Adullam. When his brothers and other relatives found out, they went and joined him there.[ref] 2Over time, any man who was in trouble, or in debt, or discontented gathered around him, and he became their leader—some four hundred men in all.

3From there, David went to Mitspah in Moab, and he asked the king of Moab, “Please let my parents stay here in the palace with you until I find out what God will do for me.” 4So he took them to the king where they stayed with him the entire time that David lived in the fortress.

5Then the prophet Gad told David, “Don’t stay in the fortress. Leave it and come back to Yehudah’s region.” So David left and went to the Heret forest in Yehudah.
