1 Samuel 22:11-16
11Then the kingH4428 sentH7971 messengers to summonH7121 AhimelechH288 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of AhitubH285, and his father’sH1 wholeH3605 familyH1004, whoH834 were priestsH3548 at NobH5011. And allH3605 of them cameH935 toH413 the kingH4428. 12“ListenH8085 nowH4994, sonH1121 of AhitubH285,” saidH559 SaulH7586.
“Here I amH2005, my lordH113,” he repliedH559.
13And SaulH7586 askedH559 himH413, “WhyH4100 have youH859 and the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 conspiredH7194 against meH5921? You gaveH5414 him breadH3899 and a swordH2719 and inquiredH7592 of GodH430 for him so that he could rise upH6965 against meH413 to lie in waitH693, as he is doing todayH3117H2088.”
14AhimelechH288 answeredH6030 the kingH4428H559, “WhoH4310 among allH3605 your servantsH5650 is as faithfulH539 as DavidH1732, the king’sH4428 son-in-lawH2860, the captainH5493 ofH413 your bodyguardH4928 and honoredH3513 in your houseH1004? 15Was that dayH3117 the first timeH2490 I inquiredH7592 of GodH430 for himH7592? Far be itH2486 from me! Let notH408 the kingH4428 accuseH7760H1697 your servantH5650 or anyH3605 of my father’sH1 householdH1004, forH3588 your servantH5650 knewH3045 nothingH3808 of thisH2063 wholeH3605 affairH1697—not in partH6996 orH176 in wholeH1419.”
16But the kingH4428 repliedH559, “You will surely dieH4191, AhimelechH288, youH859 and allH3605 your father’sH1 houseH1004!”
