Gill's Notes on the Bible

David therefore departed from thence,.... From Gath, being driven by Achish from his court, and let go by his servants, and glad he was of the deliverance:

and escaped to the cave Adullam; which was no doubt near to a city of the same name in the tribe of Judah, of which :-; this being a strong place, and in his own tribe, he might hope to be in greater safety; here he penned his hundred forty second psalm, see

Psalms 142:1:

and when his brethren and all his father's house heard [it]; that he was come thither:

they went down thither to him; to visit and comfort him, counsel and assist him all they could; and chiefly to secure themselves from the rage and malice of Saul, who they might fear would fall upon them, and avenge himself on them for David's sake.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

To the cave Adullam - Or rather “of Adullam.†Adullam was the name of a town of Judah in the “Shephelah,†not far from Bethlehem, and below it. Innumerable caverns, one nearly 100 feet long, are excavated in the soft limestone hills in the neighborhood of Beit-Jibrin. (The cave is placed by Ganneau and Conder on the hill (500 feet high) over ‘Aid el Ma or Miyeh.) David’s brethren and kinsmen joined him partly from sympathy with him, and partly because their own lives were in jeopardy front Saul’s furious enmity.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XXII

David flees to the cave of Adullam, where he is joined by four

hundred men of various descriptions, 1, 2.

He goes afterwards to Moab; and by the advice of the prophet

Gad, to the forest of Hareth, 3-5.

Saul, suspecting his servants of infidelity, upbraids them, 6-8.

Doeg informs him of David's coming to Nob; of his being

entertained by Ahimelech; on which Saul slays Ahimelech and

all the priests, to the number of eighty-five, and destroys

the city of Nob, 9-19.

Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, only escapes; he joins with

David, by whom he is assured of protection, 20-23.

NOTES ON CHAP. XXII

Verse 1 Samuel 22:1. The cave Adullam — This was in the tribe of Judah, and, according to Eusebius and Jerome, ten miles eastward of what they call Eleutheropolis.
