Who this is

Adullam was a Canaanite royal city in the Shephelah near the valley of Elah, where David killed Goliath. After fleeing Saul, David took refuge in a cave near Adullam, where he was joined by family members and by everyone in distress, debt, or discontent, roughly four hundred men who became the core of his fighting force. Rehoboam later fortified Adullam against Egyptian invasion, and Micah calls it "the glory of Israel."
