1 David H1732 MMS therefore departed H1980 W-VQY3MS thence H8033 M-ADV , and escaped H4422 to H413 PREP the cave H4631 Adullam H5725 : and when his brethren H251 NMP-3MS and all H3605 W-CMS his father H1 CMS-3MS \'s house H1004 CMS heard H8085 it , they went down H3381 thither H8033 to H413 PREP-3MS him .
2 And every H3605 NMS one H376 NMS that was in distress H4689 , and every H3605 NMS one H376 NMS that H834 RPRO was in debt H5378 , and every H3605 NMS one H376 NMS that was discontented H4751 AMS , gathered themselves H6908 unto H413 PREP-3MS him ; and he became H1961 W-VQY3MS a captain H8269 over H5921 PREP-3MP them : and there were H1961 W-VQY3MP with H5973 PREP-3MS him about four H702 hundred H3967 BFP men H376 NMS .
3 And David H1732 MMS went H1980 W-VQY3MS thence H8033 M-ADV to Mizpeh H4708 of Moab H4124 : and he said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP the king H4428 NMS of Moab H4124 , Let my father H1 CMS-1MS and my mother H517 , I pray thee H4994 IJEC , come forth H3318 VQY3MS , and be with H854 PART-2MP you , till H5704 PREP I know H3045 VQY1MS what H4100 IPRO God H430 NAME-4MP will do H6213 for me .
4 And he brought H5148 them before H6440 CMP the king H4428 NMS of Moab H4124 : and they dwelt H3427 W-VQY3MP with H5973 PREP-3MS him all H3605 NMS the while H3117 CMP that David H1732 MMS was H1961 VQFC in the hold H4686 .
5 And the prophet H5030 Gad H1410 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP David H1732 MMS , Abide H3427 not H3808 NADV in the hold H4686 ; depart H1980 VQI2MS , and get H935 thee into the land H776 GFS of Judah H3063 . Then David H1732 MMS departed H1980 W-VQY3MS , and came H935 W-VQY3MS into the forest H3293 of Hareth H2802 .
6 When Saul H7586 heard H8085 that H3588 CONJ David H1732 MMS was discovered H3045 , and the men H376 that H834 RPRO were with H854 PREP-3MS him , (now Saul H7586 abode H3427 VQPMS in Gibeah H1390 under H8478 PREP a tree H815 in Ramah H7414 , having his spear H2595 in his hand H3027 , and all H3605 W-CMS his servants H5650 were standing H5324 about H5921 him ; )
7 Then Saul H7586 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto his servants H5650 that stood H5324 about H5921 PREP-3MS him , Hear H8085 VQI2MP now H4994 IJEC , ye Benjamites H1145 ; will the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 give H5414 VHFA every one H3605 of you fields H7704 and vineyards H3754 , and make H7760 VQY3MS you all H3605 captains H8269 CMP of thousands H505 MMP , and captains H8269 of hundreds H3967 ;
8 That H3588 CONJ all H3605 CMS-2MP of you have conspired H7194 against H5921 PREP-1MS me , and there is none H369 W-NPAR that showeth H1540 me that my son H1121 NMS-1MS hath made a league H3772 with H5973 PREP the son H1121 NMS-1MS of Jesse H3448 , and there is none H369 W-NPAR of H4480 M-PPRO-2MS you that is sorry H2470 for H5921 PREP-1MS me , or showeth unto H1540 me that H3588 CONJ my son H1121 NMS-1MS hath stirred up H6965 my servant H5650 CMS-1MS against H5921 PREP-1MS me , to lie in wait H693 , as at this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 ?
9 Then answered H6030 W-VQY3MS Doeg H1673 the Edomite H130 , which H1931 W-PPRO-3MS was set H5324 over H5921 PREP the servants H5650 of Saul H7586 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , I saw H7200 VQQ1MS the son H1121 of Jesse H3448 coming H935 VQPMS to Nob H5011 , to H413 PREP Ahimelech H288 the son H1121 of Ahitub H285 .
10 And he inquired H7592 W-VQY3MS of the LORD H3068 for him , and gave H5414 VQQ3MS him victuals H6720 , and gave H5414 VQQ3MS him the sword H2719 GFS of Goliath H1555 the Philistine H6430 .
11 Then the king H4428 D-NMS sent H7971 W-VQY3MS to call H7121 Ahimelech H288 the priest H3548 , the son H1121 of Ahitub H285 , and all H3605 NMS his father H1 CMS-3MS \'s house H1004 CMS , the priests H3548 that H834 RPRO were in Nob H5011 : and they came H935 W-VQY3MP all H3605 NMS of them to H413 PREP the king H4428 .
12 And Saul H7586 said H559 W-VQY3MS , Hear H8085 VQI2MS now H4994 IJEC , thou son H1121 of Ahitub H285 . And he answered H559 W-VQY3MS , Here H2009 I am , my lord H113 .
13 And Saul H7586 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 him , Why H4100 L-IPRO have ye conspired H7194 against H5921 PREP-1MS me , thou H859 PPRO-2MS and the son H1121 W-CMS of Jesse H3448 , in that thou hast given H5414 him bread H3899 NMS , and a sword H2719 , and hast inquired H7592 of God H430 B-NMP for him , that he should rise H6965 against H413 PREP-1MS me , to lie in wait H693 , as at this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 ?
14 Then Ahimelech H288 answered H6030 W-VQY3MS the king H4428 D-NMS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , And who H4310 W-IPRO is so faithful H539 among all H3605 thy servants H5650 as David H1732 , which is the king H4428 D-NMS \'s son H2860 - in - law , and goeth H5493 W-VQPMS at H413 PREP thy bidding H4928 , and is honorable H3513 in thine house H1004 ?
15 Did I then H3117 D-AMS begin H2490 to inquire H7592 of God H430 for him ? be it far H2486 IJEC-3FS from me : let not H408 NPAR the king H4428 D-NMS impute H7760 VQI3MS any thing H1697 NMS unto his servant H5650 , nor to all H3605 B-CMS the house H1004 CMS of my father H1 CMS-1MS : for H3588 CONJ thy servant H5650 knew H3045 VQQ3MS nothing H3808 ADV of all H3605 B-CMS this H2063 DPRO , less H6996 AMS or H176 CONJ more H1419 .
16 And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , Thou shalt surely die H4191 VQFA , Ahimelech H288 , thou H859 PPRO-2MS , and all H3605 W-CMS thy father H1 \'s house H1004 CMS .
17 And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto the footmen H7323 that stood H5324 about H5921 PREP-3MS him , Turn H5437 , and slay H4191 the priests H3548 of the LORD H3068 EDS ; because H3588 CONJ their hand H3027 also H1571 CONJ is with H5973 PREP David H1732 MMS , and because H3588 CONJ they knew H3045 when H3588 CONJ he H1931 PPRO-3MS fled H1272 VQPMS , and did not H3808 W-NPAR show H1540 it to me H241 . But the servants H5650 of the king H4428 D-NMS would H14 VQQ3MP not H3808 W-NPAR put forth their hand H3027 to fall H6293 upon the priests H3548 of the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS .
18 And the king H4428 D-NMS said H559 W-VQY3MS to Doeg H1673 , Turn H5437 thou H859 PPRO-2MS , and fall H6293 upon the priests H3548 . And Doeg H1673 the Edomite H130 turned H5437 , and he H1931 PPRO-3MS fell H6293 upon the priests H3548 , and slew H4191 on that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS fourscore H8084 and five H2568 persons H376 NMS that did wear H5375 a linen H906 ephod H646 .
19 And Nob H5011 , the city H5892 GFS of the priests H3548 , smote H5221 he with the edge H6310 L-CMS of the sword H2719 GFS , both men H376 M-NMS and women H802 NFS , children H5768 and sucklings H3243 , and oxen H7794 , and asses H2543 , and sheep H7716 , with the edge H6310 L-CMS of the sword H2719 GFS .
20 And one H259 MMS of the sons H1121 NMS of Ahimelech H288 the son H1121 NMS of Ahitub H285 , named H8034 Abiathar H54 , escaped H4422 , and fled H1272 W-VQY3MS after H310 PREP David H1732 .
21 And Abiathar H54 showed H5046 W-VHY3MS David H1732 L-NAME that H3588 CONJ Saul H7586 had slain H2026 the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS \'s priests H3548 .
22 And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto Abiathar H54 , I knew H3045 VQY1MS it that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS , when H3588 CONJ Doeg H1673 the Edomite H130 was there H8033 ADV , that H3588 CONJ he would surely tell H5046 VHI2MS Saul H7586 : I H595 PPRO-1MS have occasioned H5437 the death of all H3605 B-CMS the persons H5315 GFS of thy father H1 \'s house H1004 CMS .
23 Abide H3427 thou with H854 PREP-1MS me , fear H3372 not H408 NPAR : for H3588 CONJ he that H834 RPRO seeketh H1245 my life H5315 CFS-1MS seeketh H1245 thy life H5315 : but H3588 CONJ with H5973 me thou H859 PPRO-2MS shalt be in safeguard H4931 .
