I Samuel 22:4 And he left them under the eyes of the king of Moab, and they abode with him all the days that David was in the hold.

The hold. The strong hold, or fortress of Maspha. (Challoner) --- It signifies "a watch-tower." (Haydock) --- In this place the parents of David probably finished their days, as we find no farther mention of them. (Salien)
