וַיֵּשְׁבוּ עִמּוֹ כָּל יְמֵי הֱיוֹת דָּוִד בַּמְּצוּדָה. סָמוּךְ לְמוֹאָב, וּכְשֶׁיָּצָא דָוִד מִשָּׁם לְיַעַר חָרֶת, הָרַג מֶלֶךְ מוֹאָב אֶת אָבִיו וְאֶת אִמּוֹ וְאֶחָיו, חוּץ מֵאֶחָד שֶׁבָּהֶם שֶׁהֶחֱיָהוּ נָחָשׁ הָעַמּוֹנִי, וְהוּא הַחֶסֶד שֶׁאָמַר דָּוִד (שמואל ב י:ב): ״כַּאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה אָבִיו עִמָּדִי חֶסֶד״, כִּדְאִיתָא בְּמִדְרַשׁ רַבִּי תַּנְחוּמָא: And they remained with him all the time that Dovid was in the fortress. Near Moav, and when Dovid left from there to the forest of Cheres, the king of Moav killed his father, mother, and brothers, except for one of them, whom Nochosh the Ammonite raised.1Bamidbar Rabbah 14:1. This is the kindness which Dovid [referred to when he] said, "as his father did kindness with me,"2II Shmuel 10:2. as it is stated in the Midrash of R. Tanchuma.
