1 Samuel 22:1-8
1DavidH1732 therefore departed thence, and escapedH4422 to the caveH4631 of AdullamH5725: and when his brethren and all his father’sH1 houseH1004 heardH8085 it, they wentH3381 downH3381 thither to him. 2And every oneH376 that wasH1961 in distressH4689, and every oneH376 that wasH1961 in debt, and every oneH376 that wasH1961 discontented, gatheredH6908 themselves unto him; and he becameH1961 captain over them: and there were with him about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376.
3And DavidH1732 wentH3318 thence to Mizpeh of MoabH4124: and he saidH559 unto the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, Let my fatherH1 and my motherH517, I pray thee, comeH3318 forthH3318, and be with you, till I knowH3045 what GodH430 will do for me. 4And he brought them before the kingH4428 of MoabH4124: and they dweltH3427 with him all the while that DavidH1732 wasH1961 in the stronghold. 5And the prophetH5030 GadH1410 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, Abide not in the stronghold; depart, and get thee into the landH776 of JudahH3063. Then DavidH1732 departed, and cameH935 into the forestH3293 of Hereth.
6And SaulH7586 heardH8085 that DavidH1732 was discovered, and the menH376 that were with him: now SaulH7586 was sittingH3427 in GibeahH1390, under the tamarisk-tree in Ramah, with his spearH2595 in his handH3027, and all his servantsH5650 were standingH5324 about him. 7And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650 that stoodH5324 about him, HearH8085 now, ye Benjamites; will the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 giveH5414 every one of you fieldsH7704 and vineyardsH3754, will he makeH7760 you all captains of thousandsH505 and captains of hundredsH3967, 8that all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that discloseth to me when my sonH1121 maketh a league with the sonH1121 of JesseH3448, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or discloseth unto me that my sonH1121 hath stirred up my servantH5650 against me, to lieH693 in waitH693, as at this dayH3117?
