22:1 David
therefore
departed
thence,
and
escaped
to
the
cave
of
Adullam:
and
when
his
brethren
and
all
his
father's
house
heard
it,
they
went
down
thither
to
him.
22:2 And
every
one
that
was
in
distress,
and
every
one
that
was
in
debt,
and
every
one
that
was
discontented,
gathered
themselves
unto
him;
and
he
became
captain
over
them:
and
there
were
with
him
about
four
hundred
men.
22:3 And
David
went
thence
to
Mizpeh
of
Moab:
and
he
said
unto
the
king
of
Moab,
Let
my
father
and
my
mother,
I
pray
thee,
come
forth,
[and
be]
with
you,
till
I
know
what
God
will
do
for
me.
22:4 And
he
brought
them
before
the
king
of
Moab:
and
they
dwelt
with
him
all
the
while
that
David
was
in
the
stronghold.
22:5 And
the
prophet
Gad
said
unto
David,
Abide
not
in
the
stronghold;
depart,
and
get
thee
into
the
land
of
Judah.
Then
David
departed,
and
came
into
the
forest
of
Hereth.
22:6 And
Saul
heard
that
David
was
discovered,
and
the
men
that
were
with
him:
now
Saul
was
sitting
in
Gibeah,
under
the
tamarisk-tree
in
Ramah,
with
his
spear
in
his
hand,
and
all
his
servants
were
standing
about
him.
22:7 And
Saul
said
unto
his
servants
that
stood
about
him,
Hear
now,
ye
Benjamites;
will
the
son
of
Jesse
give
every
one
of
you
fields
and
vineyards,
will
he
make
you
all
captains
of
thousands
and
captains
of
hundreds,
22:8 that
all
of
you
have
conspired
against
me,
and
there
is
none
that
discloseth
to
me
when
my
son
maketh
a
league
with
the
son
of
Jesse,
and
there
is
none
of
you
that
is
sorry
for
me,
or
discloseth
unto
me
that
my
son
hath
stirred
up
my
servant
against
me,
to
lie
in
wait,
as
at
this
day
22:9 Then
answered
Doeg
the
Edomite,
who
stood
by
the
servants
of
Saul,
and
said,
I
saw
the
son
of
Jesse
coming
to
Nob,
to
Ahimelech
the
son
of
Ahitub.
22:10 And
he
inquired
of
Jehovah
for
him,
and
gave
him
victuals,
and
gave
him
the
sword
of
Goliath
the
Philistine.
22:11 Then
the
king
sent
to
call
Ahimelech
the
priest,
the
son
of
Ahitub,
and
all
his
father's
house,
the
priests
that
were
in
Nob:
and
they
came
all
of
them
to
the
king.
22:12 And
Saul
said,
Hear
now,
thou
son
of
Ahitub.
And
he
answered,
Here
I
am,
my
lord.
22:13 And
Saul
said
unto
him,
Why
have
ye
conspired
against
me,
thou
and
the
son
of
Jesse,
in
that
thou
hast
given
him
bread,
and
a
sword,
and
hast
inquired
of
God
for
him,
that
he
should
rise
against
me,
to
lie
in
wait,
as
at
this
day
22:14 Then
Ahimelech
answered
the
king,
and
said,
And
who
among
all
thy
servants
is
so
faithful
as
David,
who
is
the
king's
son-in-law,
and
is
taken
into
thy
council,
and
is
honorable
in
thy
house
22:15 Have
I
to-day
begun
to
inquire
of
God
for
him
be
it
far
from
me:
let
not
the
king
impute
anything
unto
his
servant,
nor
to
all
the
house
of
my
father;
for
thy
servant
knoweth
nothing
of
all
this,
less
or
more.
22:16 And
the
king
said,
Thou
shalt
surely
die,
Ahimelech,
thou,
and
all
thy
father's
house.
22:17 And
the
king
said
unto
the
guard
that
stood
about
him,
Turn,
and
slay
the
priests
of
Jehovah;
because
their
hand
also
is
with
David,
and
because
they
knew
that
he
fled,
and
did
not
disclose
it
to
me.
But
the
servants
of
the
king
would
not
put
forth
their
hand
to
fall
upon
the
priests
of
Jehovah.
22:18 And
the
king
said
to
Doeg,
Turn
thou,
and
fall
upon
the
priests.
And
Doeg
the
Edomite
turned,
and
he
fell
upon
the
priests,
and
he
slew
on
that
day
fourscore
and
five
persons
that
did
wear
a
linen
ephod.
22:19 And
Nob,
the
city
of
the
priests,
smote
he
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
both
men
and
women,
children
and
sucklings,
and
oxen
and
asses
and
sheep,
with
the
edge
of
the
sword.
22:20 And
one
of
the
sons
of
Ahimelech,
the
son
of
Ahitub,
named
Abiathar,
escaped,
and
fled
after
David.
22:21 And
Abiathar
told
David
that
Saul
had
slain
Jehovah's
priests.
22:22 And
David
said
unto
Abiathar,
I
knew
on
that
day,
when
Doeg
the
Edomite
was
there,
that
he
would
surely
tell
Saul:
I
have
occasioned
[the
death]
of
all
the
persons
of
thy
father's
house.
22:23 Abide
thou
with
me,
fear
not;
for
he
that
seeketh
my
life
seeketh
thy
life:
for
with
me
thou
shalt
be
in
safeguard.
