3 And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.
3
From there David went to Mizpah in Moab and said to the king of Moab, “Would you let my father and mother come and stay with you until I learn what God will do for me?”
4 And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.
4
So he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with him as long as David was in the stronghold.
