V.1 David 1732 therefore departed 3212-4 thence, and escaped 4422-11 to the cave 4631 Adullam: 5725 and when his brethren 251 and all his father's 1 house 1004 heard 8085-4 [it], they went down 3381-4 thither to him.

22:2 And every one 376 [that was] in distress, 4689 and every one 376 that [was] in debt, 5378-5 and every one 376 [that was] discontented, 4751 5315 gathered 6908-101 themselves unto him; and he became a captain 8269 over them: and there were with him about four 702 hundred 3967 men. 376

22:3 And David 1732 went 3212-4 thence to Mizpeh 4708 of Moab: 4124 and he said 559-4 unto the king 4428 of Moab, 4124 Let my father 1 and my mother, 517 I pray thee, come forth, 3318-4 [and be] with you, till I know 3045-4 what God 430 will do 6213-4 for me.

22:4 And he brought 5148-55 them before 6440 the king 4428 of Moab: 4124 and they dwelt 3427-4 with him all the while 3117 that David 1732 was in the hold. 4686

22:5 And the prophet 5030 Gad 1410 said 559-4 unto David, 1732 Abide 3427-4 not in the hold; 4686 depart, 3212-3 and get 935-1 thee into the land 776 of Judah. 3063 Then David 1732 departed, 3212-4 and came 935-4 into the forest 3293 of Hareth. 2802

22:6 When Saul 7586 heard 8085-4 that David 1732 was discovered, 3045-8 and the men 582 that [were] with him, (now Saul 7586 abode 3427-6 in Gibeah 1390 under a tree 815 in Ramah, 7414 having his spear 2595 in his hand, 3027 and all his servants 5650 [were] standing 5324-12 about him;)

22:7 Then Saul 7586 said 559-4 unto his servants 5650 that stood 5324-12 about him, Hear 8085-3 now, ye Benjamites; 1145 will the son 1121 of Jesse 3448 give 5414-4 every one of you fields 7704 and vineyards, 3754 [and] make 7760-4 you all captains 8269 of thousands, 505 and captains 8269 of hundreds; 3967

22:8 That all of you have conspired 7194-1 against me, and [there is] none that sheweth 1540-6 me 241 that my son 1121 hath made a league 3772-2 with the son 1121 of Jesse, 3448 and [there is] none of you that is sorry 2470-6 for me, or sheweth 1540-6 unto me 241 that my son 1121 hath stirred up 6965-52 my servant 5650 against me, to lie in wait, 693-6 as at this day? 3117

22:9 Then answered 6030-4 Doeg 1673 the Edomite, 130 which was set over 5324-12 the servants 5650 of Saul, 7586 and said, 559-4 I saw 7200-1 the son 1121 of Jesse 3448 coming 935-6 to Nob, 5011 to Ahimelech 288 the son 1121 of Ahitub. 285

22:10 And he enquired 7592-4 of the LORD 3068 for him, and gave 5414-1 him victuals, 6720 and gave 5414-1 him the sword 2719 of Goliath 1555 the Philistine. 6430

22:11 Then the king 4428 sent 7971-4 to call 7121-2 Ahimelech 288 the priest, 3548 the son 1121 of Ahitub, 285 and all his father's 1 house, 1004 the priests 3548 that [were] in Nob: 5011 and they came 935-4 all of them to the king. 4428

22:12 And Saul 7586 said, 559-4 Hear 8085-3 now, thou son 1121 of Ahitub. 285 And he answered, 559-4 Here I [am], my lord. 113

22:13 And Saul 7586 said 559-4 unto him, Why have ye conspired 7194-1 against me, thou and the son 1121 of Jesse, 3448 in that thou hast given 5414-2 him bread, 3899 and a sword, 2719 and hast enquired 7592-2 of God 430 for him, that he should rise 6965-2 against me, to lie in wait, 693-6 as at this day? 3117

22:14 Then Ahimelech 288 answered 6030-4 the king, 4428 and said, 559-4 And who [is so] faithful 539-12 among all thy servants 5650 as David, 1732 which is the king's 4428 son in law, 2860 and goeth 5493-1 at thy bidding, 4928 and is honourable 3513-12 in thine house? 1004

22:15 Did I then 3117 begin 2490-52 to enquire 7592-2 of God 430 for him? be it far 2486 from me: let not the king 4428 impute 7760-4 [any] thing 1697 unto his servant, 5650 [nor] to all the house 1004 of my father: 1 for thy servant 5650 knew 3045-1 nothing 1697 of all this, less 6996 or more. 1419

22:16 And the king 4428 said, 559-4 Thou shalt surely 4191-2 die, 4191-4 Ahimelech, 288 thou, and all thy father's 1 house. 1004

22:17 And the king 4428 said 559-4 unto the footmen 7323-5 that stood 5324-12 about him, Turn, 5437-3 and slay 4191-54 the priests 3548 of the LORD; 3068 because their hand 3027 also [is] with David, 1732 and because they knew 3045-1 when he fled, 1272-6 and did not shew 1540-1 it to me. 241 But the servants 5650 of the king 4428 would 14-1 not put forth 7971- 2 their hand 3027 to fall 6293-2 upon the priests 3548 of the LORD. 3068

22:18 And the king 4428 said 559-4 to Doeg, 1673 Turn 5437-3 thou, and fall 6293-3 upon the priests. 3548 And Doeg 1673 the Edomite 130 turned, 5437-11 and he fell 6293-4 upon the priests, 3548 and slew 4191-55 on that day 3117 fourscore 8084 and five 2568 persons 376 that did wear 5375-6 a linen 906 ephod. 646

22:19 And Nob, 5011 the city 5892 of the priests, 3548 smote 5221-52 he with the edge 6310 of the sword, 2719 both men 376 and women, 802 children 5768 and sucklings, 3243-6 and oxen, 7794 and asses, 2543 and sheep, 7716 with the edge 6310 of the sword. 2719

22:20 And one 259 of the sons 1121 of Ahimelech 288 the son 1121 of Ahitub, 285 named 8034 Abiathar, 54 escaped, 4422-11 and fled 1272-4 after 310 David. 1732

22:21 And Abiathar 54 shewed 5046-55 David 1732 that Saul 7586 had slain 2026-1 the LORD'S 3068 priests. 3548

22:22 And David 1732 said 559-4 unto Abiathar, 54 I knew 3045-1 [it] that day, 3117 when Doeg 1673 the Edomite 130 [was] there, that he would surely 5046-53 tell 5046-55 Saul: 7586 I have occasioned 5437-1 [the death] of all the persons 5315 of thy father's 1 house. 1004
