1 Samuel 22:4-11

4And he broughtH5148 them beforeH6440 the kingH4428 of MoabH4124: and they dweltH3427 with him all the whileH3117 that DavidH1732 was in the strong holdH4686. 5And the prophetH5030 GadH1410 saidH559 to DavidH1732, AbideH3427 not in the strong holdH4686; departH3212, and comeH935 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;)1 7Then SaulH7586 saidH559 to his servantsH5650 that stoodH5324 about him, Hear nowH8085, ye BenjamitesH1145; will the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 giveH5414 each 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 showeth toH1540H241 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 showethH1540H241 to me that my sonH1121 hath stirred upH6965 my servantH5650 against me, to lie in waitH693, as at this dayH3117?2 9Then answeredH6030 DoegH1673 the EdomiteH130, who was setH5324 over the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586, and saidH559, I sawH7200 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 comingH935 to NobH5011, to AhimelechH288 the sonH1121 of AhitubH285. 10And he enquiredH7592 of the LORDH3068 for him, and gaveH5414 him foodH6720, and gaveH5414 him the swordH2719 of GoliathH1555 the PhilistineH6430. 11Then the kingH4428 sentH7971 to callH7121 AhimelechH288 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of AhitubH285, and all his father’sH1 houseH1004, the priestsH3548 that were in NobH5011: and they cameH935 all of them to the kingH4428.
