1 Samuel 22:1-8

1So David departed from there and 1escaped to 2the cave of Adullam; and when his brothers and all his father’s household heard of it, they went down there to him. 2Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who 3was in debt, and everyone who was 4discontented gathered to him; and he became captain over them. Now there were 5about four hundred men with him.

3And David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother come and stay with you until I know what God will do for me.” 4Then he left them with the king of Moab; and they stayed with him all the time that David was in the stronghold. 56The prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah.” So David departed and went into the forest of Hereth.

6Then Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been discovered. Now 7Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree on the height with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him. 7Saul said to his servants who stood around him, “Hear now, O Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse also give to all of you fields and vineyards? 8Will he make you all commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds? 8For all of you have conspired against me so that there is no one who 9discloses to me 10when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you 11who is sorry for me or 12discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me to lie in ambush, as it is this day.”
