1 Samuel 30:7

Compare all

5 And David’s two ^awives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite, had been taken captive.

6 Now David was greatly distressed, for ^athe people spoke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was¹ grieved, every man for his sons and his daughters. ^bBut David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.

7 ^aThen David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” And ^bAbiathar brought the ephod to David.

8 ^aSo David inquired of the Lord, saying, “Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?” And He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.”

9 So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the Brook Besor, where those stayed who were left behind.

Bring me hither the ephod - It seems as if David had put on the ephod, and inquired of the Lord for himself; but it is more likely that he caused Abiathar to do it.
