Commentary for I Samuel 22:4
וַיַּנְחֵ֕ם אֶת־פְּנֵ֖י מֶ֣לֶךְ מוֹאָ֑ב וַיֵּשְׁב֣וּ עִמּ֔וֹ כָּל־יְמֵ֥י הֱיוֹת־דָּוִ֖ד בַּמְּצוּדָֽה׃ (ס)
And he brought them before the king of Moab; and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the stronghold.
Rashi on I Samuel
And they remained with him all the time that Dovid was in the fortress. Near Moav, and when Dovid left from there to the forest of Cheres, the king of Moav killed his father, mother, and brothers, except for one of them, whom Nochosh the Ammonite raised.1Bamidbar Rabbah 14:1. This is the kindness which Dovid [referred to when he] said, "as his father did kindness with me,"2II Shmuel 10:2. as it is stated in the Midrash of R. Tanchuma.
