1 H1732 David H3212 [H8799] therefore departed H4422 [H8735] from there, and escaped H4631 to the cave H5725 Adullam: H251 and when his brethren H1 and all his father's H1004 house H8085 [H8799] heard H3381 [H8799] it, they went down there to him.

2 H376 And every one H4689 that was in distress, H376 and every one H5378 [H8801] that was in debt, H376 and every one H4751 that was bitter H5315 of breath, H6908 [H8691] resorted H8269 to him; and he became a captain H702 over them: and there were with him about four H3967 hundred H376 men.

3 H1732 And David H3212 [H8799] went H4708 from there to Mizpeh H4124 of Moab: H559 [H8799] and he said H4428 to the king H4124 of Moab, H1 Let my father H517 and my mother, H3318 [H8799] I pray thee, come forth, H3045 [H8799] and be with you, till I know H430 what God H6213 [H8799] will do for me.

4 H5148 [H8686] And he brought H6440 them at the face of H4428 the king H4124 of Moab: H3427 [H8799] and they dwelt H3117 with him all the while H1732 that David H4686 was in the strong hold.

5 H5030 And the prophet H1410 Gad H559 [H8799] said H1732 to David, H3427 [H8799] Abide H4686 not in the strong hold; H3212 [H8798] depart, H935 [H8804] and come H776 into the land H3063 of Judah. H1732 Then David H3212 [H8799] departed, H935 [H8799] and came H3293 into the forest H2802 of Hareth.

6 H7586 When Saul H8085 [H8799] heard H1732 that David H3045 [H8738] was discovered, H582 and the men H7586 that were with him, (now Saul H3427 [H8802] abode H1390 in Gibeah H815 under a tree H7414 in Ramah, H2595 having his spear H3027 in his hand, H5650 and all his servants H5324 [H8737] were standing about him;)

7 H7586 Then Saul H559 [H8799] said H5650 to his servants H5324 [H8737] that stood H8085 [H8798] about him, Hear now, H1145 ye Benjamites; H1121 will the son H3448 of Jesse H5414 [H8799] give H7704 each one of you fields H3754 and vineyards, H7760 [H8799] and make H8269 you all captains H505 of thousands, H8269 and captains H3967 of hundreds;

8 H7194 [H8804] That all of you have conspired H1540 H241 [H8802] against me, and there is none that showeth to H1121 me that my son H3772 [H8800] hath made a league H1121 with the son H3448 of Jesse, H2470 [H8802] and there is none of you that is sorry H1540 H241 [H8802] for me, or showeth H1121 to me that my son H6965 [H8689] hath stirred up H5650 my servant H693 [H8802] against me, to lie in wait, H3117 as at this day?

9 H6030 [H8799] Then answered H1673 Doeg H130 the Edomite, H5324 [H8737] who was set H5650 over the servants H7586 of Saul, H559 [H8799] and said, H7200 [H8804] I saw H1121 the son H3448 of Jesse H935 [H8802] coming H5011 to Nob, H288 to Ahimelech H1121 the son H285 of Ahitub.

10 H7592 [H8799] And he enquired H3068 of the LORD H5414 [H8804] for him, and gave H6720 him food, H5414 [H8804] and gave H2719 him the sword H1555 of Goliath H6430 the Philistine.

11 H4428 Then the king H7971 [H8799] sent H7121 [H8800] to call H288 Ahimelech H3548 the priest, H1121 the son H285 of Ahitub, H1 and all his father's H1004 house, H3548 the priests H5011 that were in Nob: H935 [H8799] and they came H4428 all of them to the king.

12 H7586 And Saul H559 [H8799] said, H8085 [H8798] Hear H1121 now, thou son H285 of Ahitub. H559 [H8799] And he answered, H113 Here I am, my sovereign.

13 H7586 And Saul H559 [H8799] said H7194 [H8804] to him, Why have ye conspired H1121 against me, thou and the son H3448 of Jesse, H5414 [H8800] in that thou hast given H3899 him bread, H2719 and a sword, H7592 [H8800] and hast enquired H430 of God H6965 [H8800] for him, that he should rise H693 [H8802] against me, to lie in wait, H3117 as at this day?

14 H288 Then Ahimelech H6030 [H8799] answered H4428 the king, H559 [H8799] and said, H539 [H8737] And who is so faithful H5650 among all thy servants H1732 as David, H4428 who is the king's H2860 son in law, H5493 [H8804] and goeth H4928 at thy bidding, H3513 [H8737] and is honourable H1004 in thy house?

15 H3117 Did I then H2490 [H8689] begin H7592 [H8800] to enquire H430 of God H2486 for him? be it far from me: H4428 let not the king H7760 [H8799] impute H1697 any thing H5650 to his servant, H1004 nor to all the house H1 of my father: H5650 for thy servant H3045 [H8804] knew H1697 nothing H6996 of all this, less H1419 or more.

16 H4428 And the king H559 [H8799] said, H4191 [H8800] Thou shalt surely H4191 [H8799] die, H288 Ahimelech, H1 thou, and all thy father's H1004 house.

17 H4428 And the king H559 [H8799] said H7323 [H8801] to the footmen H5324 [H8737] that stood H5437 [H8798] about him, Turn, H4191 [H8685] and slay H3548 the priests H3068 of the LORD; H3027 because their hand H1732 also is with David, H3045 [H8804] and because they knew H1272 [H8802] when he fled, H1540 H241 [H8804] and did not show H5650 it to me. But the servants H4428 of the king H14 [H8804] would H7971 [H8800] not put forth H3027 their hand H6293 [H8800] to fall H3548 upon the priests H3068 of the LORD.

18 H4428 And the king H559 [H8799] said H1673 to Doeg, H5437 [H8798] Turn H6293 [H8798] thou, and fall H3548 upon the priests. H1673 And Doeg H130 the Edomite H5437 [H8735] turned, H6293 [H8799] and he fell H3548 upon the priests, H4191 [H8686] and slew H3117 on that day H8084 eighty H2568 and five H376 persons H5375 [H8802] that wore H906 a linen H646 ephod.

19 H5011 And Nob, H5892 the city H3548 of the priests, H5221 [H8689] he smote H6310 with the edge H2719 of the sword, H376 both men H802 and women, H5768 children H3243 [H8802] and sucklings, H7794 and oxen, H2543 and donkeys, H7716 and sheep, H6310 with the edge H2719 of the sword.

20 H259 And one H1121 of the sons H288 of Ahimelech H1121 the son H285 of Ahitub, H8034 named H54 Abiathar, H4422 [H8735] escaped, H1272 [H8799] and fled H310 after H1732 David.

21 H54 And Abiathar H5046 [H8686] showed H1732 David H7586 that Saul H2026 [H8804] had slain H3068 the LORD'S H3548 priests.

22 H1732 And David H559 [H8799] said H54 to Abiathar, H3045 [H8804] I knew H3117 that day, H1673 when Doeg H130 the Edomite H5046 [H8687] was there, that he would surely H5046 [H8686] tell H7586 Saul: H5437 [H8804] I have occasioned H5315 the death of all the persons H1 of thy father's H1004 house.

23 H3427 [H8798] Abide H3372 [H8799] thou with me, fear H1245 [H8762] not: for he that seeketh H5315 my life H1245 [H8762] seeketh H5315 thy life: H4931 but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.
