OT
22:1-2 So David left Gath and escaped to the cave of Adullam. Soon his brothers and other relatives joined him there. Then others began coming–men who were in trouble or in debt or who were just discontented–until David was the leader of about four hundred men.
NT
4:1-2 Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan River. He was led by the Spirit to go out into the wilderness, where the Devil tempted him for forty days. He ate nothing all that time and was very hungry.
