1

So Davidh1732 departedh1980 from thereh8033 and  aescapedh4422 to  bthe caveh4631 of Adullamh5725; and when his brothersh251 and allh3605 his father'sh1 householdh1004 heardh8085 of it, they wenth3381 downh3381 thereh8033 to him.

2

Everyoneh3605 who was in distressh4689, and everyoneh3605 whoh834  1was in debth5377, and everyoneh3605 who was  2discontentedh4751h5315 gatheredh6908 to him; and he becameh1961 captainh8269 overh5921 them. Now there were  aabout fourh702 hundredh3967 menh376 with him.

3

And Davidh1732 wenth1980 from thereh8033 to Mizpahh4708 of Moabh4124; and he saidh559 to the kingh4428 of Moabh4124, "Pleaseh4994 let my fatherh1 and my motherh517 comeh3318 and stay with you untilh5704h834 I knowh3045 whath4100 Godh430 will doh6213a for me."

4

Then he lefth5148 them with the kingh4428 of Moabh4124; and they stayedh3427 with him allh3605 the timeh3117 that Davidh1732 was in the strongholdh4686b.

5

 aThe propheth5030 Gadh1410 saidh559 to Davidh1732, "Do not stayh3427 in the strongholdh4686b; departh1980, and goh935 into the landh776 of Judahh3063." So Davidh1732 departedh1980 and wenth935 into the foresth3293a of Herethh2802.

6

Then Saulh7586 heardh8085 that Davidh1732 and the menh376 whoh834 were with him had been discoveredh3045. Now  aSaulh7586 was sittingh3427 in Gibeahh1390, underh8478 the tamariskh815 treeh815 on the heighth7413 with his spearh2595 in his handh3027, and allh3605 his servantsh5650 were standingh5324 aroundh5921 him.

7

Saulh7586 saidh559 to his servantsh5650 who stoodh5324 aroundh5921 him, "Hearh8085 nowh4994, O Benjamitesh1145! Will the sonh1121 of Jesseh3448 alsoh1571 giveh5414 to allh3605 of you fieldsh7704 and vineyardsh3754?  aWill he makeh7760 you allh3605 commandersh8269 of thousandsh505 and commandersh8269 of hundredsh3967?

8

"For allh3605 of you have conspiredh7194 againsth5921 me so that thereh369 is noh369 oneh369 who  1disclosesh1540 to me  awhen my sonh1121 makesh3772 a covenant with the sonh1121 of Jesseh3448, and thereh369 is noneh369 of you  bwho is sorryh2470a for me or  1disclosesh1540 to me that my sonh1121 has stirredh6965 up my servanth5650 againsth5921 me to lieh693 in ambushh693, as it is thish2088 dayh3117."

9

Then  aDoegh1673 the Edomiteh130, whoh1931 was  1standingh5324 by the servantsh5650 of Saulh7586, saidh559, " bI sawh7200 the sonh1121 of Jesseh3448 comingh935 to Nobh5011, to  cAhimelechh288 the sonh1121 of Ahitubh285.

10

aHe inquiredh7592 of the LORDh3068 for him,  bgaveh5414 him provisionsh6720, and  cgaveh5414 him the swordh2719 of Goliathh1555 the Philistineh6430."

11

Then the kingh4428 senth7971 someone to summonh7121 Ahimelechh288 the priesth3548, the sonh1121 of Ahitubh285, and allh3605 his father'sh1 householdh1004, the priestsh3548 whoh834 were in Nobh5011; and allh3605 of them cameh935 to the kingh4428.

12

Saulh7586 saidh559, "Listenh8085 nowh4994, sonh1121 of Ahitubh285." And he  1answeredh559, "Hereh2009 I am, my lordh113."

13

Saulh7586 then saidh559 to him, "Whyh4100 have you and the sonh1121 of Jesseh3448 conspiredh7194 againsth5921 me, in that you have givenh5414 him breadh3899 and a swordh2719 and have inquiredh7592 of Godh430 for him, so that he would riseh6965 up againsth413 me  aby lyingh693 in ambushh693 as it is thish2088 dayh3117?"

14

 aThen Ahimelechh288 answeredh6030a the kingh4428 and saidh559, "And whoh4310 among allh3605 your servantsh5650 is as faithfulh539 as Davidh1732, even the king'sh4428 son-in-lawh2860a, who  1is captain overh413 your guardh4928, and is honoredh3513 in your househ1004?

15

"Did I just beginh2490c  ato inquireh7592 of Godh430 for him todayh3117? Farh2486 be it from me!  bDo not let the kingh4428 imputeh7760 anythingh1697 to his servanth5650 or to anyh3605 of the householdh1004 of my fatherh1, for your servanth5650 knowsh3045 nothingh3808  1at allh6996bh1419 of thish2088 wholeh3605 affairh1697."

16

But the kingh4428 saidh559, "You shall surelyh4191 dieh4191, Ahimelechh288, you and allh3605 your father'sh1 householdh1004!"

17

And  athe kingh4428 saidh559 to the  1guardsh7323 who were attendingh5324 him, "Turnh5437 aroundh5437 and puth4191 the priestsh3548 of the LORDh3068 to deathh4191, becauseh3588 their handh3027 alsoh1571 is with Davidh1732 and becauseh3588 they knewh3045 that he was fleeingh1272 and did not  2revealh1540h241 it to me." But the  bservantsh5650 of the kingh4428 were not willingh14 to puth7971 forthh7971 their handsh3027 to  3attackh6293 the priestsh3548 of the LORDh3068.

18

Then the kingh4428 saidh559 to Doegh1673, "You turnh5437 aroundh5437 and  1attackh6293 the priestsh3548." And Doegh1673 the Edomiteh130 turnedh5437 aroundh5437 and  2attackedh6293 the priestsh3548, and  ahe killedh4191 that dayh3117 eighty-fiveh8084 menh376  bwho woreh5375 the linenh906 ephodh646.

19

And  ahe struckh5221 Nobh5011 the cityh5892b of the priestsh3548 with the edgeh6310 of the swordh2719, bothh4480 menh376 and womenh802, childrenh5768 and infantsh3243; also oxenh7794, donkeysh2543, and sheeph7716 he struck with the edgeh6310 of the swordh2719.

20

But  aoneh259 sonh1121 of Ahimelechh288 the sonh1121 of Ahitubh285, namedh8034 Abiatharh54,  bescapedh4422 and fledh1272 afterh310 Davidh1732.

21

Abiatharh54 toldh5046 Davidh1732 that Saulh7586 had killedh2026 the priestsh3548 of the LORDh3068.

22

Then Davidh1732 saidh559 to Abiatharh54, "I knewh3045 on that dayh3117, whenh3588  aDoegh1673 the Edomiteh130 was thereh8033, that he would surelyh5046 tellh5046 Saulh7586. I have broughth5437 abouth5437 the death of everyh3605 personh5315 in your father'sh1 householdh1004.

23

"Stayh3427 with me; do not be afraidh3372a, for  ahe whoh834 seeksh1245 my lifeh5315 seeksh1245 your lifeh5315, for you are  1safeh4931 with me."
