The Midianites were stronger than Israel, and the people of Israel hid from them in caves and other safe places in the hills.

David fled from the city of Gath and went to a cave near the town of Adullam. When his brothers and the rest of the family heard that he was there, they joined him.

People who were oppressed or in debt or dissatisfied went to him, about four hundred men in all, and he became their leader.

People will hide in caves in the rocky hills or dig holes in the ground to try to escape from the LORD's anger and to hide from his power and glory, when he comes to shake the earth.

Then the kings of the earth, the rulers and the military chiefs, the rich and the powerful, and all other people, slave and free, hid themselves in caves and under rocks on the mountains.
