SEV Biblia, Chapter 22:1
¶ Y yéndose David de allí se escapó a la cueva de Adulam (justicia o rectitud del pueblo ); lo cual cuando oyeron sus hermanos y toda la casa de su padre, vinieron allí a él.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 22:1
Verse 1. The cave Adullam] This was in the tribe of Judah, and, according to Eusebius and Jerome, ten miles eastward of what they call Eleutheropolis.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. David therefore departed from thence , etc.] From Gath, being driven by Achish from his court, and let go by his servants, and glad he was of the deliverance: and escaped to the cave Adullam ; which was no doubt near to a city of the same name in the tribe of Judah, of which (see Gill on “ Joshua 15:35”); this being a strong place, and in his own tribe, he might hope to be in greater safety; here he penned his hundred forty second psalm, (see <19E201> Psalm 142:1-7): and when his brethren and all his father’s house heard [it] ; that he was come thither: they went down thither to him ; to visit and comfort him, counsel and assist him all they could; and chiefly to secure themselves from the rage and malice of Saul, who they might fear would fall upon them, and avenge himself on them for David’s sake.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - See what weak instruments God sometimes uses, to bring about his ow purposes. The Son of David is ready to receive distressed souls, wh will be commanded by him. He receives all who come unto Him, howeve vile and miserable; he changes them into a holy people, and employ them in his service: those who would reign with him must be contente first to suffer with and for him. Observe with what tender concer David provided for his aged parents. The first thing he does is to fin them a quiet habitation, whatever became of himself. Let children lear to honour their parents, in every thing consulting their ease an satisfaction. Though highly preferred, and much employed, let them no forget their aged parents. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. And the Lord will preserve his people for their appointed work however they may be hated and exposed.
