It was reported to Saul saying, “David is at Naioth in Ramah.”

Saul said to his uncle, &#8220;He assured us that the donkeys had been found.&#8221; But Saul<n id="1" /> did not tell him what Samuel had said about the matter of kingship.p>

Saul&#8217;s uncle said, &#8220;Tell me what Samuel said to you.&#8221;<n id="1" />

When David&#8217;s words were overheard and reported to Saul, he called for him.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="bodytext">Now Michal, Saul&#8217;s daughter, loved David. When they told Saul about this, it<n id="1" /> pleased him.

<p class="bodytext">When Saul&#8217;s servants reported what David had said,

David said to Jonathan, &#8220;Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?&#8221;

Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the <sc>Lordsc>.

<t /><p class="bodytext">They told David, &#8220;The Philistines are fighting in Keilah and are looting the threshing floors.&#8221;

<p class="bodytext">So David&#8217;s servants went on their way. When they had returned, they came and told David<n id="1" /> all these things.

and said to her servants, &#8220;Go on ahead of me. I will come after you.&#8221; But she did not tell her husband Nabal.p>

When Saul learned that David had fled to Gath, he did not mount a new search for him.p>

<p class="bodytext">So Saul said to Jonathan, &#8220;Tell me what you have done.&#8221; Jonathan told him, &#8220;I used the end of the staff that was in my hand to taste a little honey. I must die!&#8221;<n id="1" />

Then David said to Abiathar, &#8220;I knew that day when Doeg the Edomite was there that he would certainly tell Saul! I am guilty<n id="1" /> of all the deaths in your father&#8217;s house!

<p class="bodytext">So Samuel lay down until morning. Then he opened the doors of the <sc>Lordsc>&#8217;s house. But Samuel was afraid to tell Eli about the vision.

<p class="bodytext">So Samuel told him everything. He did not hold back anything from him. Eli<n id="1" /> said, &#8220;The <sc>Lordsc> will do what he pleases.&#8221;<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">When Eli heard the outcry,<n id="1" /> he said, &#8220;What is this commotion?&#8221;<n id="2" /> The man quickly came and told Eli.

So now do as they say.<n id="1" /> But seriously warn<n id="2" /> them and make them aware of the policies of the king who will rule over them.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

As Saul approached Samuel in the middle of the gate, he said, &#8220;Please tell me where the seer&#8217;s house is.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">Now it was reported to Saul, &#8220;Look, the army is sinning against the <sc>Lordsc> by eating even the blood.&#8221; He said, &#8220;All of you have broken the covenant!<n id="1" /> Roll a large stone over here to me.&#8221;
