1 SAMUEL 22:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.”
And David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab — David's movement (*va'yetzet David mi'sham el Mizpeh Moav*) seeks refuge among Israel's eastern neighbors. The *vayomer el melekh Moav*, he said to the king of Moab, suggests diplomatic negotiation, David appealing to Moabite hospitality on the basis of family connection (Ruth, David's great-grandmother, was Moabite).
