1 SAMUEL 22:5 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.”
Please let my father and mother stay with you until I know what God will do for me — David's request (*na yeita avi v'imi itchem ad asher eda et asher yaaseh elohim li*) entrusts his aged parents to Moabite protection, removing them from Saul's sphere of violence. The *ad asher eda et asher yaaseh elohim li* (until I know what God will do for me) expresses David's dependence on divine direction, his recognition that the outcome of his conflict with Saul remains in God's hands.
