**כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה אָבִיו עִמָּדִי חֶסֶד.** וּמַהוּ הַחֶסֶד, כְּשֶׁהָיָה דָוִד בּוֹרֵחַ מִפְּנֵי שָׁאוּל, בָּאוּ אֵלָיו אָבִיו וְאִמּוֹ וְאֶחָיו (שמואל א כב:ד): ״וַיַּנְחֵם אֶת פְּנֵי מֶלֶךְ מוֹאָב״, וַיֹּאמֶר לוֹ יֵשֶׁב נָא אָבִי וְאִמִּי עִמָּךְ, וַהֲרָגָם, חוּץ מֵאֶחָד מֵהֶם שֶׁבָּרַח וְנִמְלַט לְאֶרֶץ בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן אֵצֶל נָחָשׁ, (במדרש רבי תנחומא בוירא אליו):

**The Metsudah Tanach series, Lakewood, N.J:**
**As his father acted with kindness towards me.** And what was the kindness? When Dovid was fleeing because of Shaul, his father, mother and brothers came to [join] him. "Dovid led them before the king of Moav"¹ [Dovid] said to him, "Please, [let] my father and mother dwell with you." [The king of Moav] killed them [all] except for one of them [i.e., the brothers] who fled and escaped to the land of the people of Amon, to Nochosh. This is a Midrash Rebbe Tanchuma in [Parshas] Vayeiroh ailov.
