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 about it, they wentH3381 downH3381 thereH8033 to him. 2Then everyoneH3605 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 6leftH5117 them with the kingH4428 of MoabH4124; and they stayedH3427 with him allH3605 the timeH3117 that DavidH1732 was in the strongholdH4686. 5But 7GadH1410 the prophetH5030 saidH559 to DavidH1732, “Do not stayH3427 in the strongholdH4686; leaveH1980, and goH935 into the landH776 of JudahH3063.” So DavidH1732 leftH1980 and wentH935 into the forestH3293 of HerethH2802.
6Then SaulH7586 heardH8085 that DavidH1732 and the menH376 whoH834 were with him had been discoveredH3045. Now 8SaulH7586 was in GibeahH1390, sittingH3427 underH8478 the tamariskH815 treeH815 on the heightH7413 with his spearH2595 in his handH3027, and allH3605 his servantsH5650 were standingH5324 in frontH5921 of him. 7SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantsH5650 who were standingH5324 in frontH5921 of him, “HearH8085 nowH4994, you BenjaminitesH1145! Will the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 reallyH1571 giveH5414 allH3605 of you fieldsH7704 and vineyardsH3754? 9Will he makeH7760 you allH3605 commandersH8269 of thousandsH505 and commandersH8269 of hundredsH3967? 8For allH3605 of you have conspiredH7194 againstH5921 me so that thereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH369 who 10informsH1540H241 me 11when my sonH1121 makesH3772 a covenant with the sonH1121 of JesseH3448, and thereH369 isH369 noneH369 of you 12who caresH2470 aboutH2470 me or 13informsH1540H241 me that my sonH1121 has stirredH6965 upH6965 my servantH5650 againstH5921 me to lieH693 inH693 ambushH693, as it is thisH2088 dayH3117.”
