22 So David went from there,+ escaping to the cave of A·dulʹlam.+ When his brothers and his father’s entire house heard of it, they went down there to him.

5 In time Gad+ the prophet said to David: “Do not stay in the stronghold. Go from there into the land of Judah.”+ So David left and went into the forest of Heʹreth.

22 So David swore to Saul, after which Saul went home.+ But David and his men went up to the stronghold.+

14 David was then in the stronghold,+ and an outpost of the Phi·lisʹtines was in Bethʹle·hem.

8 When the Phi·lisʹtines heard that David had been anointed as king over all Israel,+ all the Phi·lisʹtines came up to search for David.+ When David heard about it, he went out against them.
