1 Samuel 22:4-11
4Then he 1left them with the king of Moab; and they stayed with him all the time that David was in the stronghold. 5But 2Gad the prophet said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold; leave, and go into the land of Judah.” So David left and went into the forest of Hereth.
6Then Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been discovered. Now 3Saul was in Gibeah, sitting under the tamarisk tree on the height with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing in front of him. 7Saul said to his servants who were standing in front of him, “Hear now, you Benjaminites! Will the son of Jesse really give all of you fields and vineyards? 4Will he make you all commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds? 8For all of you have conspired against me so that there is no one who 5informs me 6when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you 7who cares about me or 8informs me that my son has stirred up my servant against me to lie in ambush, as it is this day.” 9Then 9Doeg the Edomite, who was 10standing in front of the servants of Saul, responded and said, “11I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to 12Ahimelech the son of Ahitub. 10And 13he inquired of the Lord for him, 14gave him provisions, and 15gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
11Then the king sent a messenger to summon Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s household, the priests who were in Nob; and all of them came to the king.
