1 Samuel 22:1-18

22:1

David
<01732>

therefore departed
<03212> (8799)

thence, and escaped
<04422> (8735)

to the cave
<04631>

Adullam
<05725>_:

and when his brethren
<0251>

and all his father's
<01>

house
<01004>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[it], they went down
<03381> (8799)

thither to him.

22:2

And every one
<0376>

[that was] in distress
<04689>_,

and every one
<0376>

that [was] in debt
<05378> (8801)_,

and every one
<0376>

[that was] discontented
<04751> <05315>_,

gathered
<06908> (8691)

themselves unto him; and he became a captain
<08269>

over them: and there were with him about four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_.

{was in debt: Heb. had a creditor} {discontented: Heb. bitter of soul}

22:3

And David
<01732>

went
<03212> (8799)

thence to Mizpeh
<04708>

of Moab
<04124>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>_,

Let my father
<01>

and my mother
<0517>_,

I pray thee, come forth
<03318> (8799)_,

[and be] with you, till I know
<03045> (8799)

what God
<0430>

will do
<06213> (8799)

for me.

22:4

And he brought
<05148> (8686)

them before
<06440>

the king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>_:

and they dwelt
<03427> (8799)

with him all the while
<03117>

that David
<01732>

was in the hold
<04686>_.

22:5

And the prophet
<05030>

Gad
<01410>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

Abide
<03427> (8799)

not in the hold
<04686>_;

depart
<03212> (8798)_,

and get
<0935> (8804)

thee into the land
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>_.

Then David
<01732>

departed
<03212> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

into the forest
<03293>

of Hareth
<02802>_.

22:6

When Saul
<07586>

heard
<08085> (8799)

that David
<01732>

was discovered
<03045> (8738)_,

and the men
<0582>

that [were] with him, (now Saul
<07586>

abode
<03427> (8802)

in Gibeah
<01390>

under a tree
<0815>

in Ramah
<07414>_,

having his spear
<02595>

in his hand
<03027>_,

and all his servants
<05650>

[were] standing
<05324> (8737)

about him;) {tree...: or, grove in a high place}

22:7

Then Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his servants
<05650>

that stood
<05324> (8737)

about him, Hear now
<08085> (8798)_,

ye Benjamites
<01145>_;

will the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>

give
<05414> (8799)

every one of you fields
<07704>

and vineyards
<03754>_,

[and] make
<07760> (8799)

you all captains
<08269>

of thousands
<0505>_,

and captains
<08269>

of hundreds
<03967>_;

22:8

That all of you have conspired
<07194> (8804)

against me, and [there is] none that sheweth
<01540> (8802) <0241>

me that my son
<01121>

hath made a league
<03772> (8800)

with the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>_,

and [there is] none of you that is sorry
<02470> (8802)

for me, or sheweth
<01540> (8802) <0241>

unto me that my son
<01121>

hath stirred up
<06965> (8689)

my servant
<05650>

against me, to lie in wait
<0693> (8802)_,

as at this day
<03117>_?

{sheweth...: Heb. uncovereth mine ear}

22:9

Then answered
<06030> (8799)

Doeg
<01673>

the Edomite
<0130>_,

which was set
<05324> (8737)

over the servants
<05650>

of Saul
<07586>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I saw
<07200> (8804)

the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>

coming
<0935> (8802)

to Nob
<05011>_,

to Ahimelech
<0288>

the son
<01121>

of Ahitub
<0285>_.

22:10

And he enquired
<07592> (8799)

of the LORD
<03068>

for him, and gave
<05414> (8804)

him victuals
<06720>_,

and gave
<05414> (8804)

him the sword
<02719>

of Goliath
<01555>

the Philistine
<06430>_.

22:11

Then the king
<04428>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to call
<07121> (8800)

Ahimelech
<0288>

the priest
<03548>_,

the son
<01121>

of Ahitub
<0285>_,

and all his father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

the priests
<03548>

that [were] in Nob
<05011>_:

and they came
<0935> (8799)

all of them to the king
<04428>_.

22:12

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

now, thou son
<01121>

of Ahitub
<0285>_.

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Here I [am], my lord
<0113>_.

{Here...: Heb. Behold me}

22:13

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Why have ye conspired
<07194> (8804)

against me, thou and the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>_,

in that thou hast given
<05414> (8800)

him bread
<03899>_,

and a sword
<02719>_,

and hast enquired
<07592> (8800)

of God
<0430>

for him, that he should rise
<06965> (8800)

against me, to lie in wait
<0693> (8802)_,

as at this day
<03117>_?

22:14

Then Ahimelech
<0288>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the king
<04428>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

And who [is so] faithful
<0539> (8737)

among all thy servants
<05650>

as David
<01732>_,

which is the king's
<04428>

son in law
<02860>_,

and goeth
<05493> (8804)

at thy bidding
<04928>_,

and is honourable
<03513> (8737)

in thine house
<01004>_?

22:15

Did I then
<03117>

begin
<02490> (8689)

to enquire
<07592> (8800)

of God
<0430>

for him? be it far from me
<02486>_:

let not the king
<04428>

impute
<07760> (8799)

[any] thing
<01697>

unto his servant
<05650>_,

[nor] to all the house
<01004>

of my father
<01>_:

for thy servant
<05650>

knew
<03045> (8804)

nothing
<01697>

of all this, less
<06996>

or more
<01419>_.

{less...: Heb. little or great}

22:16

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_,

Ahimelech
<0288>_,

thou, and all thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>_.

22:17

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the footmen
<07323> (8801)

that stood
<05324> (8737)

about him, Turn
<05437> (8798)_,

and slay
<04191> (8685)

the priests
<03548>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

because their hand
<03027>

also [is] with David
<01732>_,

and because they knew
<03045> (8804)

when he fled
<01272> (8802)_,

and did not shew
<01540> (8804) <0241>

it to me. But the servants
<05650>

of the king
<04428>

would
<014> (8804)

not put forth
<07971> (8800)

their hand
<03027>

to fall
<06293> (8800)

upon the priests
<03548>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{footmen: or, guard: Heb. runners}

22:18

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Doeg
<01673>_,

Turn
<05437> (8798)

thou, and fall
<06293> (8798)

upon the priests
<03548>_.

And Doeg
<01673>

the Edomite
<0130>

turned
<05437> (8735)_,

and he fell
<06293> (8799)

upon the priests
<03548>_,

and slew
<04191> (8686)

on that day
<03117>

fourscore
<08084>

and five
<02568>

persons
<0376>

that did wear
<05375> (8802)

a linen
<0906>

ephod
<0646>_.
