1 Samuel 22:1-8

1So DavidH1732 departedH1980 from thereH8033 and 1escapedH4422 to 2the caveH4631 of AdullamH5725; and when his brothersH251 and allH3605 his father’sH1 householdH1004 heardH8085 of it, they wentH3381 downH3381 thereH8033 to him. 2EveryoneH3605 who was in distressH4689, and everyoneH3605 whoH834 3was in debtH5377, and everyoneH3605 who was 4discontentedH4751H5315 gatheredH6908 to him; and he becameH1961 captainH8269 overH5921 them. Now there were 5about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376 with him.

3And DavidH1732 wentH1980 from thereH8033 to MizpahH4708 of MoabH4124; and he saidH559 to the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, “PleaseH4994 let my fatherH1 and my motherH517 comeH3318 and stay with you untilH5704H834 I knowH3045 whatH4100 GodH430 will doH6213 for me.” 4Then he leftH5148 them with the kingH4428 of MoabH4124; and they stayedH3427 with him allH3605 the timeH3117 that DavidH1732 was in the strongholdH4686. 56The prophetH5030 GadH1410 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “Do not stayH3427 in the strongholdH4686; departH1980, and goH935 into the landH776 of JudahH3063.” So DavidH1732 departedH1980 and wentH935 into the forestH3293 of HerethH2802.

6Then SaulH7586 heardH8085 that DavidH1732 and the menH376 whoH834 were with him had been discoveredH3045. Now 7SaulH7586 was sittingH3427 in GibeahH1390, underH8478 the tamariskH815 treeH815 on the heightH7413 with his spearH2595 in his handH3027, and allH3605 his servantsH5650 were standingH5324 aroundH5921 him. 7SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantsH5650 who stoodH5324 aroundH5921 him, “HearH8085 nowH4994, O BenjamitesH1145! Will the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 alsoH1571 giveH5414 to allH3605 of you fieldsH7704 and vineyardsH3754? 8Will he makeH7760 you allH3605 commandersH8269 of thousandsH505 and commandersH8269 of hundredsH3967? 8For allH3605 of you have conspiredH7194 againstH5921 me so that thereH369 is noH369 oneH369 who 9disclosesH1540 to me 10when my sonH1121 makesH3772 a covenant with the sonH1121 of JesseH3448, and thereH369 is noneH369 of you 11who is sorryH2470 for me or 12disclosesH1540 to me that my sonH1121 has stirredH6965 up my servantH5650 againstH5921 me to lieH693 in ambushH693, as it is thisH2088 dayH3117.”
