1Sa 22:1
22:1 David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave

house heard [it], they went down thither to him.
(a) Which was in the tribe of Judah, near Bethlehem.
1Sa 22:3
22:3 And David went thence to Mizpeh of {b} Moab: and he said
unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray
thee, come forth, [and be] with you, till I know what God
will do for me.
(b) For there was another so called in Judah.
1Sa 22:4
22:4 And he {c} brought them before the king of Moab: and they
dwelt with him all the while that David was in {d} the
hold.
(c) For he feared the rage of Saul against his house.
(d) That is, in Mizpeh, which was a stronghold.
1Sa 22:6
22:6 When Saul heard that David was {e} discovered, and the men
that [were] with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a
tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his
servants [were] standing about him;)
(e) That a great brute came on him.
1Sa 22:7
22:7 Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear
now, ye {f} Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every
one of you fields and vineyards, [and] make you all
captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds;
(f) You that are of my tribe and lineage.
1Sa 22:8
22:8 That all of you have conspired against me, and [there is]
none that sheweth me that my son hath made a league with
the son of Jesse, and [there is] none of you that is sorry
for me, or sheweth unto me that my {g} son hath stirred up
my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?
(g) By this he would persuade them that this conspiracy was
most horrible, where the son conspired against the
father, and the servant against his master.
1Sa 22:11
22:11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son
of Ahitub, and all his father's house, {h} the priests
that [were] in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
(h) Which were the remnant of the house of Eli, whose
house God threatened to punish.
1Sa 22:15
22:15 {i} Did I then begin to enquire of God for him? be it far
from me: let not the king impute [any] thing unto his
servant, [nor] to all the house of my father: for thy
servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.
(i) Have I not at other times also, when he had great
affairs, consulted with the Lord for him?
1Sa 22:17
22:17 And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him,
Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD; because their hand
also [is] with David, and because they knew when he fled,
and did not shew it to me. But the servants of the king
{k} would not put forth their hand to fall upon the
priests of the LORD.
(k) For they knew that they should not obey the wicked
commandment of the king in slaying the innocent.
1Sa 22:20
22:20 And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named
Abiathar, {l} escaped, and fled after David.
(l) This was God's providence, who according to his
promise preserved some of the house of Eli,
@1Sa 2:33.
