1 SAMUEL 22:2 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.”
And when his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down there to him — the news of David's whereabouts (*va'yishmeu achiv v'kol bet avio* heard it) brings his family from Bethlehem to Adullam. His *va'yeirdu alav*, went down to him, suggests movement toward David, a gathering of kinship. David's isolated fugitivity begins to transform into leadership of a community.
