1 Samuel 22:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 From there, David traveled to Mizpah in Moab. He said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother stay with you until I know what God will do with me.” 4 He brought them to the king of Moab, and they lived with him the whole time that David was in the stronghold.
5 But the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold.[a] Leave, and go to the land of Judah.” David left and went into the forest of Hareth.
