1 Samuel 22:4-6 Common English Bible (CEB)

4. So David left his parents with the Moabite king, and they stayed with him the whole time David was in the fortress.

5. Then the prophet Gad told David, "Don’t stay in the fortress any longer. Leave now and go to the land of Judah." So David left and went to Hereth forest.

6. Saul learned that David and his soldiers had been located. Saul was sitting under the tamarisk tree on the hill at Gibeah, spear in hand, with all his servants waiting on him.
