1 Samuel 22:4-11

4Then he leftH5148 them with the kingH4428 of MoabH4124; and they stayedH3427 with him allH3605 the timeH3117 that DavidH1732 was in the strongholdH4686. 51The 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 2SaulH7586 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? 3Will 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 4disclosesH1540 to me 5when my sonH1121 makesH3772 a covenant with the sonH1121 of JesseH3448, and thereH369 is noneH369 of you 6who is sorryH2470 for me or 7disclosesH1540 to me that my sonH1121 has stirredH6965 up my servantH5650 againstH5921 me to lieH693 in ambushH693, as it is thisH2088 dayH3117.” 9Then 8DoegH1673 the EdomiteH130, whoH1931 was 9standingH5324 by the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586, saidH559, “10I sawH7200 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 comingH935 to NobH5011, to 11AhimelechH288 the sonH1121 of AhitubH285. 1012He inquiredH7592 of the LordH3068 for him, 13gaveH5414 him provisionsH6720, and 14gaveH5414 him the swordH2719 of GoliathH1555 the PhilistineH6430.”

11Then the kingH4428 sentH7971 someone to summonH7121 AhimelechH288 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of AhitubH285, and allH3605 his father’sH1 householdH1004, the priestsH3548 whoH834 were in NobH5011; and allH3605 of them cameH935 to the kingH4428.
