In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: It means bitter in spirit, troubled or in distress. These are people who joined David because life had left them unhappy and in need. Interpretation: David's band of outcasts at the cave is seen as the beginning of his rise, as God gathers those who are low and shapes them into followers of the future king. In the primary lessons: in stories a discontented servant or creature leaves home or grumbles; it tells why someone runs away
