What does the Bible say about the cave of Adullam?

Answered in 1 source

The cave of Adullam, where David gathered distressed individuals, symbolizes a refuge for the broken and highlights God's transformative work.

The cave of Adullam, as seen in 1 Samuel 22:1-2, serves as a powerful metaphor for God's gathering of broken individuals seeking refuge. David, acting as a type of Christ, welcomed those in distress, debt, and discontent, illustrating that God builds His kingdom from the weak rather than the proud. This cave symbolizes a safe haven where God does His transformative work, representing the humility necessary to recognize one's need for salvation and grace.
