Then everyone who was in distress, and everyone who ^(F1)was in debt, and everyone who was ^(F2)discontented gathered to him; and he became captain over them. Now there were ^(C1)about four hundred men with him.

And David went 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."

Then he ^(F1)left them with the king of Moab; and they stayed with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.

But ^(C1)Gad the prophet said to David, "Do not stay in the stronghold; leave, and go into the land of Judah." So David left and went into the forest of Hereth.
