During the time of King Saul's reign, David was on the run and had taken refuge in a stronghold, likely Ziklag, as he waited for God's timing to become king. People from the tribes of Benjamin and Judah, who were David's own kin and fellow Israelites, came to join him, showing their allegiance and support amid the political unrest. This event reflects the growing momentum of support for David as God's chosen leader in ancient Israel.
