1 Samuel 22:3-5

Tree of Life Version

³ Then David left 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.” ⁴ Then he brought them to the king of Moab, and they stayed with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.

⁵ But the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold; depart, and go to the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.
