1 Samuel22:3
3 ¶ And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab , and he said unto the king of Moab , Let my father and my mother , I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me .
So called, to distinguish it from that Mizpeh, 1 Sam. 7. 5.
Partly, because he was related to, and descended from one of his People; Ruth. 4. 10. And partly, because he was Saul's Enemy, 1 Sam. 14. 47. and therefore more likely to be David's Friend.
Who being very Aged, were not able to endure those Journeys and hardships which David foresaw that he was likely to be Exposed to.
Till I see the Accomplishment of God's Promise made to me.
