1 Samuel 22:10 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 22:10

8 All of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who reveals to me that ^amy son has made a covenant with the son of Jesse; and there is not one of you who is sorry for me or reveals to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day.”

9 Then answered ^aDoeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said, “I saw the son of Jesse going to Nob, to ^bAhimelech the son of ^cAhitub.

10 ^aAnd he inquired of the Lord for him, ^bgave him provisions, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”

11 So the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob. And they all came to the king.

12 And Saul said, “Hear now, son of Ahitub!” He answered, “Here I am, my lord.”

13 Then 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 inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day?”

14 So Ahimelech answered the king and said, “And who among all your servants is as ^afaithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, who goes at your bidding, and is honorable in your house?

15 Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? Far be it from me! Let not the king impute anything to his servant, or to any in the house of my father. For your servant knew nothing of all this, little or much.”

16 And the king said, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all ^ayour father’s house!”

17 Then the king said to the guards who stood about him, “Turn and kill the priests of the Lord, because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled and did not tell it to me.” But the servants of the king ^awould not lift their hands to strike the priests of the Lord.
