1 Samuel 22:11-16

11Then the kingH4428 sentH7971 to callH7121 AhimelechH288 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of AhitubH285, and all his father’sH1 houseH1004, the priestsH3548 that were in NobH5011: and they cameH935 all of them to the kingH4428. 12And SaulH7586 saidH559, HearH8085 now, thou sonH1121 of AhitubH285. And he answered, HereH2005 I am, my lordH113. 13And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto him, WhyH4100 have ye conspired against me, thou and the sonH1121 of JesseH3448, in that thou hast givenH5414 him breadH3899, and a swordH2719, and hast inquired of GodH430 for him, that he should riseH6965 against me, to lieH693 in waitH693, as at this dayH3117? 14Then AhimelechH288 answered the kingH4428, and saidH559, And who among all thy servantsH5650 is so faithfulH539 as DavidH1732, who is the king’sH4428 son-in-law, and is taken into thy council, and is honorable in thy houseH1004? 15Have I to-day begunH2490 to inquire of GodH430 for him? be it farH2486 from me: let not the kingH4428 impute anything unto his servantH5650, nor to all the houseH1004 of my fatherH1; for thy servantH5650 knoweth nothing of all this, less or more. 16And the kingH4428 saidH559, Thou shalt surely dieH4191, AhimelechH288, thou, and all thy father’sH1 houseH1004.
