So when his brothers and all his father’s house heard <i>it,</i> they went down there to him. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_samuel/22-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>And everyone <i>who was</i> in distress, everyone who <i>was</i> in debt, and everyone <i>who was</i> <span class="fn"><a href="#footnotes">[a]</a></span>discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him.</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_samuel/22-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>Then David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother come here with you, till I know what God will do for me.” </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_samuel/22-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>So he brought them before the king of Moab, and they dwelt with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_samuel/22-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Now the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold; depart, and go to the land of Judah.” So David departed and went into the forest of Hereth.</span></p> <h3> Saul Murders the Priests</span></h3><p><span class="text 1Sam-22-6"><span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_samuel/22-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>When Saul heard that David and the men who <i>were</i> with him had been discovered—now Saul was staying in Gibeah under a tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants standing about him— </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_samuel/22-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>then Saul said to his servants who stood about him, “Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, <i>and</i> make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds? </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_samuel/22-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>All of you have conspired against me, and <i>there is</i> no one who reveals to me that my son has made a covenant with the son of Jesse; and <i>there is</i> not one of you who is sorry for me or reveals to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as <i>it is</i> this day.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_samuel/22-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said, “I saw the son of Jesse going to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_samuel/22-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>And he inquired of the <span style="font-variant: small-caps" class="small-caps divine-name">Lord</span> for him, gave him provisions, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_samuel/22-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>So the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who <i>were</i> in Nob. And they all came to the king. </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_samuel/22-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>And Saul said, “Hear now, son of Ahitub!”</span></p><p><span class="text 1Sam-22-12">He answered, “Here I am, my lord.”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_samuel/22-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Then Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day?”</span></p> <p> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_samuel/22-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>So Ahimelech answered the king and said, “And who among all your servants <i>is as</i> faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, who goes at your bidding, and is honorable in your house? </span> <span class="reftext"><a href="http://biblehub.com/1_samuel/22-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>Did I then begin to inquire of God for him?
