John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Samuel 22:4

Hold — In holds; the singular number being put for the plural; as is frequent; that is, as long as David was forced to go from place to place, and from hold to hold, to secure himself: for it concerned David to secure his father, and he did doubtless secure him for all that time; and not only while he was in the hold of Mizpeh, or of Adullam, which was but a little while.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Samuel 22:4

And he (c) brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in (d) the hold.

(c) For he feared the rage of Saul against his house.

(d) That is, in Mizpeh, which was a stronghold.
