A Novel of King David
David in 1 Samuel 22
(1 Samuel 22:1) And David left there and escaped to the cave Adullam. And his
brothers and all his father's house heard, and went down to him there.
(1 Samuel 22:2) And every man in distress, and every man who had a creditor, and
every man bitter of soul, gathered themselves to him. And he became commander
over them. And about four hundred men were with him.
(1 Samuel 22:3) And David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab. And he said to the
king of Moab, Please let my father and my mother come forth and be with you
until I know what God will do for me.
(1 Samuel 22:4) And he brought them before the king of Moab. And they lived with
him all the time that David was in the stronghold.
(1 Samuel 22:5) And the prophet Gad said to David, Do not stay in the
stronghold. Leave and go into the land of Judah. And David left and came into
the forest of Hareth.
(1 Samuel 22:6) And Saul heard that David and the men with him had been
discovered. And Saul was staying in Gibeah under the tamarisk tree in Ramah,
having his spear in his hand. And all his servants were standing about him.
(1 Samuel 22:7) And Saul said to his servants standing by him, Now hear,
Benjamites, will the son of Jesse give to any of you fields and vineyards, and
make you all commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds?
(1 Samuel 22:8) But all of you have conspired against me, and none of you was
revealing in my ear when my son cut a covenant with the son of Jesse? And not
one of you is sorry for me, even to reveal in my ear that my son has stirred up
my servant against me, to lie in wait, as today.
(1 Samuel 22:9) And answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of
Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of
Ahitub.
(1 Samuel 22:10) And he asked of Jehovah for him and gave him food and gave him
the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
(1 Samuel 22:11) And the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of
Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests in Nob. And they came, all of
them, to the king.
(1 Samuel 22:12) And Saul said, Hear now, you son of Ahitub. And he answered,
Here I am, my lord.
(1 Samuel 22:13) And 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
asked of God for him, that he should rise against me to lie in wait, as at this
day?
(1 Samuel 22:14) And Ahimelech answered the king and said, And who is so
faithful among all your servants as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and who
goes at your bidding, and who is honorable in your house?
(1 Samuel 22:15) Have I today begun to ask of God for him? Be it far from me. Do
not let the king charge a thing to his servant, nor to all the house of my
father. For your servant knew nothing of all this, more or less.
(1 Samuel 22:16) And the king said, Ahimelech, you shall surely die, you and all
your father's house.
(1 Samuel 22:17) And the king said to the guard that stood around him, Turn and
kill the priests of Jehovah, because their hand also is with David, and because
they knew when he fled, and did not reveal it to me. But the servants of the
king would not put forth their hand to fall on the priests of Jehovah.
(1 Samuel 22:18) And the king said to Doeg, You turn and fall on the priests.
And Doeg the Edomite turned and fell on the priests. And on that day he killed
eighty-five persons who wore a linen ephod.
(1 Samuel 22:19) And he struck Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of
the sword, both men and women, children and babes, and oxen, and asses, and
sheep, with the edge of the sword.
(1 Samuel 22:20) And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named
Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.
(1 Samuel 22:21) And Abiathar told David that Saul had slain Jehovah's priests.
(1 Samuel 22:22) And David said to Abiathar, I knew that day, when Doeg the
Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I have caused the death of
all the persons of your father's house.
(1 Samuel 22:23) Stay with me, and do not fear. For he who seeks my life seeks
your life. But you shall be in safekeeping with me.
