1 Samuel 22:3-5

Evangelical Heritage Version

³ David went from there to Mizpah in Moab, and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother come and stay with you, until I find out what God will do for me.” ⁴ So he brought them to the king of Moab, and they stayed with him the whole time that David was in the stronghold.

⁵ The prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Leave and go to the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the Forest of Hereth.
