1 Samuel 22:1-8

1So DavidH1732 leftH1980 Gath and took refugeH4422 inH413 the caveH4631 of AdullamH5725. When his brothersH251 and the rest ofH3605 his father’sH1 householdH1004 heard about itH8085, they went downH3381 to himH413 thereH8033. 2And allH3605 who were distressedH4689 or indebtedH5378H3605H376 or discontentedH4751H5315 ralliedH6908 around himH413, and he becameH1961 theirH5921 leaderH8269. About fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376 wereH1961 with himH5973.

3From thereH8033 DavidH1732 wentH1980 to MizpehH4708 of MoabH4124, where he saidH559 toH413 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, “PleaseH4994 let my fatherH1 and motherH517 stayH33181 with youH854 untilH5704 I learnH3045 whatH4100 GodH430 will doH6213 for me.” 4So he left themH5148 inH854 the careH6440 of the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, and they stayedH3427 with himH5973 the wholeH3605 timeH3117 DavidH1732 wasH1961 in the strongholdH4686.

5Then the prophetH5030 GadH1410 saidH559 toH413 DavidH1732, “Do notH3808 stayH3427 in the strongholdH4686. DepartH1980 and goH935 into the landH776 of JudahH3063.” So DavidH1732 leftH1980 and wentH935 to the forestH3293 of HerethH2802.

6Soon SaulH7586 learnedH8085 thatH3588 DavidH1732H582 and his menH834H854 had been discoveredH3045. At that time SaulH7586 was sittingH3427 underH8478 the tamarisk treeH815 on the hillH7413 at GibeahH1390, with his spearH2595 in handH3027 and allH3605 his servantsH5650 standingH5324 around himH5921.

7Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantsH5650H5324H5921, “ListenH8085H4994, menH1121 of BenjaminH3227H1571! Is the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 givingH5414 allH3605 of you fieldsH7704 and vineyardsH3754 and makingH7760 youH3605 commandersH8269 of thousandsH505 or hundredsH3967? 8Is thatH3588 why allH3605 of you have conspiredH7194 against meH5921? Not oneH369 of you toldH1540 meH853 thatH241 my own sonH1121 had made a covenantH3772 withH5973 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448. Not oneH369 of you has shown concernH2470 for meH5921 or revealedH1540 to meH241 thatH3588 my sonH1121 has stirred upH6965 my own servantH5650 to lie in waitH693 against meH5921, as is the case todayH3117H2088.”
