1 Samuel 22:1-8

1DavidH1732 therefore departedH3212 thence, and escapedH4422 to the caveH4631 AdullamH5725: and when his brethrenH251 and all his father’sH1 houseH1004 heardH8085 it, they went downH3381 thither to him. 2And every oneH376 that was in distressH4689, and every oneH376 that was in debtH5378, and every oneH376 that was discontentedH5315H4751, gatheredH6908 themselves unto him; and he became a captainH8269 over them: and there were with him about fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376.12

3And DavidH1732 wentH3212 thence to MizpehH4708 of MoabH4124: and he saidH559 unto the kingH4428 of MoabH4124, Let my fatherH1 and my motherH517, I pray thee, come forthH3318, and be with you, till I knowH3045 what GodH430 will doH6213 for me. 4And he broughtH5148 them beforeH6440 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124: and they dweltH3427 with him all the whileH3117 that DavidH1732 was in the holdH4686.

5And the prophetH5030 GadH1410 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, AbideH3427 not in the holdH4686; departH3212, and getH935 thee into the landH776 of JudahH3063. Then DavidH1732 departedH3212, and cameH935 into the forestH3293 of HarethH2802.

6When SaulH7586 heardH8085 that DavidH1732 was discoveredH3045, and the menH582 that were with him, (now SaulH7586 abodeH3427 in GibeahH1390 under a treeH815 in RamahH7414, having his spearH2595 in his handH3027, and all his servantsH5650 were standingH5324 about him;)3 7Then SaulH7586 saidH559 unto his servantsH5650 that stoodH5324 about him, Hear nowH8085, ye BenjamitesH1145; will the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 giveH5414 every one of you fieldsH7704 and vineyardsH3754, and makeH7760 you all captainsH8269 of thousandsH505, and captainsH8269 of hundredsH3967; 8That all of you have conspiredH7194 against me, and there is none that shewethH241H1540 me that my sonH1121 hath made a leagueH3772 with the sonH1121 of JesseH3448, and there is none of you that is sorryH2470 for me, or shewethH241H1540 unto me that my sonH1121 hath stirred upH6965 my servantH5650 against me, to lie in waitH693, as at this dayH3117?4
