Verse 4 is found in chapter 22 of 1 Samuel. David takes refuge in the cave of Adullam and begins gathering around himself people who are distressed, indebted, and discontented. The group gradually becomes a community under his leadership. David also seeks protection for his parents among the Moabites. Meanwhile, Doeg informs Saul about the help David received at Nob. The contrast is strong: David builds a vulnerable community while Saul responds to perceived threat through suspicion and violence.

Los dejó con el rey de Moab, y ellos permanecieron con él todo el tiempo que David estuvo en la fortaleza.
Et il les conduisit devant le roi de Moab, et ils demeurèrent avec lui tout le temps que David fut dans la forteresse.
Egli adunque li menò davanti al re di Moab; ed essi dimorarono con lui tutto il tempo che Davide fu in quella fortezza.
E trouxe-os perante o rei dos moabitas, e ficaram com ele todos os dias que Davi esteve no lugar forte.
