1st Samuel Chapter 22 - King James Strong Number Version

1: David <H1732> therefore departed <H3212> thence, and escaped <H4422> to the cave <H4631> Adullam: <H5725> and when his brethren <H0251> and all his father's <H0001> house <H1004> heard <H8085> [it], they went down <H3381> thither to him.
2: And every one <H0376> [that was] in distress, <H4689> and every one <H0376> that [was] in debt, <H5378> and every one <H0376> [that was] discontented, <H4751> <H5315> gathered <H6908> themselves unto him; and he became a captain <H8269> over them: and there were with him about four <H0702> hundred <H3967> men. <H0376>
3: And David <H1732> went <H3212> thence to Mizpeh <H4708> of Moab: <H4124> and he said <H0559> unto the king <H4428> of Moab, <H4124> Let my father <H0001> and my mother, <H0517> I pray thee, come forth, <H3318> [and be] with you, till I know <H3045> what God <H0430> will do <H6213> for me.
4: And he brought <H5148> them before <H6440> the king <H4428> of Moab: <H4124> and they dwelt <H3427> with him all the while <H3117> that David <H1732> was in the hold. <H4686>
5: And the prophet <H5030> Gad <H1410> said <H0559> unto David, <H1732> Abide <H3427> not in the hold; <H4686> depart, <H3212> and get <H0935> thee into the land <H0776> of Judah. <H3063> Then David <H1732> departed, <H3212> and came <H0935> into the forest <H3293> of Hareth. <H2802>
6: When Saul <H7586> heard <H8085> that David <H1732> was discovered, <H3045> and the men <H0582> that [were] with him, (now Saul <H7586> abode <H3427> in Gibeah <H1390> under a tree <H0815> in Ramah, <H7414> having his spear <H2595> in his hand, <H3027> and all his servants <H5650> [were] standing <H5324> about him;)
7: Then Saul <H7586> said <H0559> unto his servants <H5650> that stood <H5324> about him, Hear <H8085> now, ye Benjamites; <H1145> will the son <H1121> of Jesse <H3448> give <H5414> every one of you fields <H7704> and vineyards, <H3754> [and] make <H7760> you all captains <H8269> of thousands, <H0505> and captains <H8269> of hundreds; <H3967>
8: That all of you have conspired <H7194> against me, and [there is] none that sheweth <H1540> me <H0241> that my son <H1121> hath made a league <H3772> with the son <H1121> of Jesse, <H3448> and [there is] none of you that is sorry <H2470> for me, or sheweth <H1540> unto me <H0241> that my son <H1121> hath stirred up <H6965> my servant <H5650> against me, to lie in wait, <H0693> as at this day? <H3117>
9: Then answered <H6030> Doeg <H1673> the Edomite, <H0130> which was set over <H5324> the servants <H5650> of Saul, <H7586> and said, <H0559> I saw <H7200> the son <H1121> of Jesse <H3448> coming <H0935> to Nob, <H5011> to Ahimelech <H0288> the son <H1121> of Ahitub. <H0285>
10: And he enquired <H7592> of the LORD <H3068> for him, and gave <H5414> him victuals, <H6720> and gave <H5414> him the sword <H2719> of Goliath <H1555> the Philistine. <H6430>
11: Then the king <H4428> sent <H7971> to call <H7121> Ahimelech <H0288> the priest, <H3548> the son <H1121> of Ahitub, <H0285> and all his father's <H0001> house, <H1004> the priests <H3548> that [were] in Nob: <H5011> and they came <H0935> all of them to the king. <H4428>
12: And Saul <H7586> said, <H0559> Hear <H8085> now, thou son <H1121> of Ahitub. <H0285> And he answered, <H0559> Here I [am], my lord. <H0113>
13: And Saul <H7586> said <H0559> unto him, Why have ye conspired <H7194> against me, thou and the son <H1121> of Jesse, <H3448> in that thou hast given <H5414> him bread, <H3899> and a sword, <H2719> and hast enquired <H7592> of God <H0430> for him, that he should rise <H6965> against me, to lie in wait, <H0693> as at this day? <H3117>
14: Then Ahimelech <H0288> answered <H6030> the king, <H4428> and said, <H0559> And who [is so] faithful <H0539> among all thy servants <H5650> as David, <H1732> which is the king's <H4428> son in law, <H2860> and goeth <H5493> at thy bidding, <H4928> and is honourable <H3513> in thine house? <H1004>
15: Did I then <H3117> begin <H2490> to enquire <H7592> of God <H0430> for him? be it far <H2486> from me: let not the king <H4428> impute <H7760> [any] thing <H1697> unto his servant, <H5650> [nor] to all the house <H1004> of my father: <H0001> for thy servant <H5650> knew <H3045> nothing <H1697> of all this, less <H6996> or more. <H1419>
16: And the king <H4428> said, <H0559> Thou shalt surely <H4191> die, <H4191> Ahimelech, <H0288> thou, and all thy father's <H0001> house. <H1004>
17: And the king <H4428> said <H0559> unto the footmen <H7323> that stood <H5324> about him, Turn, <H5437> and slay <H4191> the priests <H3548> of the LORD; <H3068> because their hand <H3027> also [is] with David, <H1732> and because they knew <H3045> when he fled, <H1272> and did not shew <H1540> it to me. <H0241> But the servants <H5650> of the king <H4428> would <H0014> not put forth <H7971> their hand <H3027> to fall <H6293> upon the priests <H3548> of the LORD. <H3068>
18: And the king <H4428> said <H0559> to Doeg, <H1673> Turn <H5437> thou, and fall <H6293> upon the priests. <H3548> And Doeg <H1673> the Edomite <H0130> turned, <H5437> and he fell <H6293> upon the priests, <H3548> and slew <H4191> on that day <H3117> fourscore <H8084> and five <H2568> persons <H0376> that did wear <H5375> a linen <H0906> ephod. <H0646>
19: And Nob, <H5011> the city <H5892> of the priests, <H3548> smote <H5221> he with the edge <H6310> of the sword, <H2719> both men <H0376> and women, <H0802> children <H5768> and sucklings, <H3243> and oxen, <H7794> and asses, <H2543> and sheep, <H7716> with the edge <H6310> of the sword. <H2719>
20: And one <H0259> of the sons <H1121> of Ahimelech <H0288> the son <H1121> of Ahitub, <H0285> named <H8034> Abiathar, <H0054> escaped, <H4422> and fled <H1272> after <H0310> David. <H1732>
21: And Abiathar <H0054> shewed <H5046> David <H1732> that Saul <H7586> had slain <H2026> the LORD'S <H3068> priests. <H3548>
22: And David <H1732> said <H0559> unto Abiathar, <H0054> I knew <H3045> [it] that day, <H3117> when Doeg <H1673> the Edomite <H0130> [was] there, that he would surely <H5046> tell <H5046> Saul: <H7586> I have occasioned <H5437> [the death] of all the persons <H5315> of thy father's <H0001> house. <H1004>
23: Abide <H3427> thou with me, fear <H3372> not: for he that seeketh <H1245> my life <H5315> seeketh <H1245> thy life: <H5315> but with me thou [shalt be] in safeguard. <H4931>
