1 Samuel 22:23

21 And Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the Lord’s priests.

22 So 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’s¹ house.

23 Stay with me; do not fear. ^aFor he who seeks my life seeks your life, but with me you shall be safe.”

1 Samuel 22:23

He that seeketh my life seeketh thy life - The enmity of Saul is directed against thee as well as against me, and thou canst have no safety but in being closely attached to me; and I will defend thee even at the risk of my own life. This he was bound in duty and conscience to do.
