1 Samuel 22:6-8

6Saul heard that David and his men had been found. Saul was staying in Gibeah under the tamarisk tree at the worship site  with his spear in his hand and all his officials standing around him.

7He said to his officials, “Listen here, men of Benjamin! Will Jesse’s son give every one of you fields and vineyards? Will he make you all officers over a regiment or a battalion of soldiers?

8All of you are plotting against me, and no one informed me when my son entered into a loyalty pledge with Jesse’s son. No one felt sorry for me and informed me that my son has encouraged my servant David to ambush me, as he’s doing now.”
