1 Samuel 22:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ And David departed from thence into Maspha of Moab: and he said to the king of Moab: Let my father and my mother tarry with you, I beseech thee, till I know what God will do for me.

⁴ And he left them under the eyes of the king of Moab, and they abode with him all the days that David was in the hold.

⁵ And Gad the prophet said to David: Abide not in the hold, depart, and go into the land of Juda. And David departed, and came into the forest of Haret.
