1So DavidH1732 departedH1980 from thereH8033 and 1escapedH4422 to 2the caveH4631 of AdullamH5725; and when his brothersH251 and allH3605 his father’sH1 householdH1004 heardH8085 about it, they wentH3381 downH3381 thereH8033 to him. 2Then everyoneH3605 who was in distressH4689, and everyoneH3605 whoH834 3was in debtH5377, and everyoneH3605 who was 4discontentedH4751H5315 gatheredH6908 to him; and he becameH1961 captainH8269 overH5921 them. Now there were 5about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376 with him.

3And DavidH1732 wentH1980 from thereH8033 to MizpahH4708 of MoabH4124; and he saidH559 to the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, “PleaseH4994 let my fatherH1 and my motherH517 comeH3318 and stay with you untilH5704H834 I knowH3045 whatH4100 GodH430 will doH6213 for me.” 4Then he 6leftH5117 them with the kingH4428 of MoabH4124; and they stayedH3427 with him allH3605 the timeH3117 that DavidH1732 was in the strongholdH4686. 5But 7GadH1410 the prophetH5030 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “Do not stayH3427 in the strongholdH4686; leaveH1980, and goH935 into the landH776 of JudahH3063.” So DavidH1732 leftH1980 and wentH935 into the forestH3293 of HerethH2802.
