Chapter 22 David therefore departed
thence, and escaped to the cave at Dullam.

00:05.480 --> 00:09.320
And when his brethren and all his father's
house heard it, they went down thither to

00:09.320 --> 00:09.540
him.

00:09.960 --> 00:12.920
And every one that was in distress,
and every one that was in debt,

00:13.220 --> 00:16.780
and every one that was discontented,
gathered themselves unto him, and he

00:16.780 --> 00:17.940
became a captain over them.

00:18.420 --> 00:20.320
And there were with him about four hundred
men.

00:21.120 --> 00:23.400
And David went thence to Mizpah of Moab.

00:23.520 --> 00:27.260
And he said unto the king of Moab,
Let my father and my mother, I pray thee,

00:27.340 --> 00:31.440
come forth, and be with you till I know
what God will do for me.

00:31.700 --> 00:34.860
And he brought them before the king of
Moab, and they dwelt with him all the

00:34.860 --> 00:36.260
while that David was in the hold.

00:37.060 --> 00:40.640
And the prophet Gad said unto David,
Abide not in the hold.

00:41.120 --> 00:43.500
Depart, and get thee into the land of
Judah.

00:43.940 --> 00:46.480
Then David departed, and came into the
forest of Hereth.

00:47.180 --> 00:50.600
When Saul heard that David was discovered,
and the men that were with him,

00:51.040 --> 00:55.020
now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in
Ramah, having his spear in his hand,

00:55.160 --> 00:56.920
and all his servants were standing about
him.

00:56.920 --> 01:01.360
Then Saul said unto his servants that
stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites!

01:01.700 --> 01:05.760
Will the son of Jesse give every one of
you fields and vineyards, and make you all

01:05.760 --> 01:08.100
captains of thousands and captains of
hundreds?

01:08.620 --> 01:12.760
That all of you have conspired against me,
and there is none that showeth me that my

01:12.760 --> 01:14.840
son hath made a league with the son of
Jesse.

01:15.340 --> 01:19.160
And there is none of you that is sorry for
me, or showeth unto me that my son hath

01:19.160 --> 01:23.560
stirred up my servant against me,
to lie in wait, as at this day?

01:24.040 --> 01:27.060
Then answered Doeg the Edomite,
which was said over the servants of Saul,

01:27.160 --> 01:32.260
and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to
Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitab.

01:32.620 --> 01:36.360
And he inquired of the Lord for him,
and gave him vittles, and gave him the

01:36.360 --> 01:37.740
sword of Goliath the Philistine.

01:38.300 --> 01:42.360
Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the
priest, the son of Ahitab, and all his

01:42.360 --> 01:44.420
father's house, the priests that were in
Nob.

01:44.880 --> 01:46.480
And they came all of them to the king.

01:47.120 --> 01:49.880
And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of
Ahitab.

01:50.180 --> 01:52.520
And he answered, Here I am, my lord.

01:53.040 --> 01:57.360
And Saul said unto him, Why have ye
conspired against me, thou and the son of

01:57.360 --> 02:02.160
Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread
and a sword, and hast inquired of God for

02:02.160 --> 02:06.240
him, that he should rise against me to lie
in wait, as at this day?

02:06.580 --> 02:10.760
Then Ahimelech answered the king,
and said, And who is so faithful among all

02:10.760 --> 02:16.160
thy servants as David, which is the king's
son-in-law, and goeth at thy bidding,

02:16.700 --> 02:18.640
and is honorable in thine house?

02:19.400 --> 02:22.440
Did I then begin to inquire of God for
him?

02:22.960 --> 02:24.440
Be it far from me.

02:25.280 --> 02:30.020
Let not the king impute anything unto his
servant, nor to all the house of my

02:30.020 --> 02:30.420
father.

02:30.880 --> 02:35.320
For thy servant knew nothing of all this,
less or more.

02:35.640 --> 02:40.940
And the king said, Thou shalt surely die,
Ahimelech, thou and all thy father's

02:40.940 --> 02:41.320
house.

02:41.560 --> 02:45.520
And the king said unto the footmen that
stood about him, Turn and slay the priests

02:45.520 --> 02:49.900
of the Lord, because their hand also is
with David, and because they knew when he

02:49.900 --> 02:51.800
fled and did not show it to me.

02:51.800 --> 02:55.400
But the servants of the king would not put
forth their hand to fall upon the priests

02:55.400 --> 02:55.940
of the Lord.

02:56.820 --> 03:00.800
And the king said to Doeg, Turn now and
fall upon the priests.

03:01.160 --> 03:05.980
And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell
upon the priests, and slew on that day

03:05.980 --> 03:09.240
fourscore and five persons that did wear a
linen ephod.

03:10.160 --> 03:13.540
And Nob, the city of the priests,
smote he with the edge of the sword,

03:13.980 --> 03:18.480
both men and women, children and
sucklings, and oxen and asses and sheep

03:18.480 --> 03:19.680
with the edge of the sword.

03:20.240 --> 03:23.940
And one of the sons of Ahimelech,
the son of Ahithob, named Abiathar,

03:24.340 --> 03:25.880
escaped and fled after David.

03:26.620 --> 03:29.540
And Abiathar showed David that Saul had
slain the Lord's priests.

03:30.060 --> 03:35.000
And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it
that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there,

03:35.380 --> 03:39.000
that he would surely tell Saul,
I have occasioned the death of all the

03:39.000 --> 03:40.180
persons at thy father's house.

03:41.020 --> 03:42.840
Abide thou with me, fear not.

03:43.580 --> 03:46.500
For he that seeketh my life, seeketh thy
life.

03:46.500 --> 03:49.540
But with me thou shalt be in safeguard.
