1David left Gath and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and his father's household heard about it, they went down to him there.

1וַיֵּ֤לֶךְ דָּוִד֙ מִשָּׁ֔ם וַיִּמָּלֵ֖ט אֶל־ מְעָרַ֣ת עֲדֻלָּ֑ם וַיִּשְׁמְע֤וּ אֶחָיו֙ וְכָל־ בֵּ֣ית אָבִ֔יו וַיֵּרְד֥וּ אֵלָ֖יו שָֽׁמָּה׃

2All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around him, and he became their commander. About four hundred men were with him.

2וַיִּֽתְקַבְּצ֣וּ אֵ֠לָיו כָּל־ אִ֨ישׁ מָצ֜וֹק וְכָל־ אִ֨ישׁ אֲשֶׁר־ ל֤וֹ נֹשֶׁא֙ וְכָל־ אִ֣ישׁ מַר־ נֶ֔פֶשׁ וַיְהִ֥י עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם לְשָׂ֑ר וַיִּהְי֣וּ עִמּ֔וֹ כְּאַרְבַּ֥ע מֵא֖וֹת אִֽישׁ׃

3From there David went to Mizpah in Moab and said to the king of Moab, "Would you let my father and mother come and stay with you until I learn what God will do for me?"

3וַיֵּ֧לֶךְ דָּוִ֛ד מִשָּׁ֖ם מִצְפֵּ֣ה מוֹאָ֑ב וַיֹּ֣אמֶר ׀ אֶל־ מֶ֣לֶךְ מוֹאָ֗ב יֵֽצֵא־ נָ֞א אָבִ֤י וְאִמִּי֙ אִתְּכֶ֔ם עַ֚ד אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֵדַ֔ע מַה־ יַּֽעֲשֶׂה־ לִּ֖י אֱלֹהִֽים׃

4So he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with him as long as David was in the stronghold.

4וַיַּנְחֵ֕ם אֶת־ פְּנֵ֖י מֶ֣לֶךְ מוֹאָ֑ב וַיֵּשְׁב֣וּ עִמּ֔וֹ כָּל־ יְמֵ֥י הֱיוֹת־ דָּוִ֖ד בַּמְּצוּדָֽה׃ ס

5But the prophet Gad said to David, "Do not stay in the stronghold. Go into the land of Judah." So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.

5וַיֹּאמֶר֩ גָּ֨ד הַנָּבִ֜יא אֶל־ דָּוִ֗ד לֹ֤א תֵשֵׁב֙ בַּמְּצוּדָ֔ה לֵ֥ךְ וּבָֽאתָ־ לְּךָ֖ אֶ֣רֶץ יְהוּדָ֑ה וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ דָּוִ֔ד וַיָּבֹ֖א יַ֥עַר חָֽרֶת׃ ס

6Now Saul heard that David and his men had been discovered. And Saul was seated, spear in hand, under the tamarisk tree on the hill at Gibeah, with all his officials standing at his side.

6וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע שָׁא֔וּל כִּ֚י נוֹדַ֣ע דָּוִ֔ד וַאֲנָשִׁ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתּ֑וֹ וְשָׁאוּל֩ יוֹשֵׁ֨ב בַּגִּבְעָ֜ה תַּֽחַת־ הָאֶ֤שֶׁל בָּֽרָמָה֙ וַחֲנִית֣וֹ בְיָד֔וֹ וְכָל־ עֲבָדָ֖יו נִצָּבִ֥ים עָלָֽיו׃

7He said to them, "Listen, men of Benjamin! Will the son of Jesse give all of you fields and vineyards? Will he make all of you commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds?

7וַיֹּ֣אמֶר שָׁא֗וּל לַֽעֲבָדָיו֙ הַנִּצָּבִ֣ים עָלָ֔יו שִׁמְעוּ־ נָ֖א בְּנֵ֣י יְמִינִ֑י גַּם־ לְכֻלְּכֶ֗ם יִתֵּ֤ן בֶּן־ יִשַׁי֙ שָׂד֣וֹת וּכְרָמִ֔ים לְכֻלְּכֶ֣ם יָשִׂ֔ים שָׂרֵ֥י אֲלָפִ֖ים וְשָׂרֵ֥י מֵאֽוֹת׃

8Is that why you have all conspired against me? No one tells me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you is concerned about me or tells me that my son has incited my servant to lie in wait for me, as he does today."

8כִּי֩ קְשַׁרְתֶּ֨ם כֻּלְּכֶ֜ם עָלַ֗י וְאֵין־ גֹּלֶ֤ה אֶת־ אָזְנִי֙ בִּכְרָת־ בְּנִ֣י עִם־ בֶּן־ יִשַׁ֔י וְאֵין־ חֹלֶ֥ה מִכֶּ֛ם עָלַ֖י וְגֹלֶ֣ה אֶת־ אָזְנִ֑י כִּ֣י הֵקִים֩ בְּנִ֨י אֶת־ עַבְדִּ֥י עָלַ֛י לְאֹרֵ֖ב כַּיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ ס

9But Doeg the Edomite, who was standing with Saul's officials, said, "I saw the son of Jesse come to Ahimelek son of Ahitub at Nob.

9וַיַּ֜עַן דֹּאֵ֣ג הָאֲדֹמִ֗י וְה֛וּא נִצָּ֥ב עַל־ עַבְדֵֽי־ שָׁא֖וּל וַיֹּאמַ֑ר רָאִ֙יתִי֙ אֶת־ בֶּן־ יִשַׁ֔י בָּ֣א נֹ֔בֶה אֶל־ אֲחִימֶ֖לֶךְ בֶּן־ אֲחִטֽוּב׃

10Ahimelek inquired of the LORD for him; he also gave him provisions and the sword of Goliath the Philistine."

10וַיִּשְׁאַל־ לוֹ֙ בַּֽיהוָ֔ה וְצֵידָ֖ה נָ֣תַן ל֑וֹ וְאֵ֗ת חֶ֛רֶב גָּלְיָ֥ת הַפְּלִשְׁתִּ֖י נָ֥תַן לֽוֹ׃

11Then the king sent for the priest Ahimelek son of Ahitub and all the men of his family, who were the priests at Nob, and they all came to the king.

11וַיִּשְׁלַ֣ח הַמֶּ֡לֶךְ לִקְרֹא֩ אֶת־ אֲחִימֶ֨לֶךְ בֶּן־ אֲחִיט֜וּב הַכֹּהֵ֗ן וְאֵ֨ת כָּל־ בֵּ֥ית אָבִ֛יו הַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּנֹ֑ב וַיָּבֹ֥אוּ כֻלָּ֖ם אֶל־ הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃ ס

12Saul said, "Listen now, son of Ahitub." "Yes, my lord," he answered.

12וַיֹּ֣אמֶר שָׁא֔וּל שְֽׁמַֽע־ נָ֖א בֶּן־ אֲחִיט֑וּב וַיֹּ֖אמֶר הִנְנִ֥י אֲדֹנִֽי׃

13Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, giving him bread and a sword and inquiring of God for him, so that he has rebelled against me and lies in wait for me, as he does today?"

13וַיֹּ֤אמֶר [אלו] (אֵלָיו֙) שָׁא֔וּל לָ֚מָּה קְשַׁרְתֶּ֣ם עָלַ֔י אַתָּ֖ה וּבֶן־ יִשָׁ֑י בְּתִתְּךָ֨ ל֜וֹ לֶ֣חֶם וְחֶ֗רֶב וְשָׁא֥וֹל לוֹ֙ בֵּֽאלֹהִ֔ים לָק֥וּם אֵלַ֛י לְאֹרֵ֖ב כַּיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ ס

14Ahimelek answered the king, "Who of all your servants is as loyal as David, the king's son-in-law, captain of your bodyguard and highly respected in your household?

14וַיַּ֧עַן אֲחִימֶ֛לֶךְ אֶת־ הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ וַיֹּאמַ֑ר וּמִ֤י בְכָל־ עֲבָדֶ֙יךָ֙ כְּדָוִ֣ד נֶאֱמָ֔ן וַחֲתַ֥ן הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ וְסָ֥ר אֶל־ מִשְׁמַעְתֶּ֖ךָ וְנִכְבָּ֥ד בְּבֵיתֶֽךָ׃

15Was that day the first time I inquired of God for him? Of course not! Let not the king accuse your servant or any of his father's family, for your servant knows nothing at all about this whole affair."

15הַיּ֧וֹם הַחִלֹּ֛תִי [לשאול־] (לִשְׁאָל־) ל֥וֹ בֵאלֹהִ֖ים חָלִ֣ילָה לִּ֑י אַל־ יָשֵׂם֩ הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ בְּעַבְדּ֤וֹ דָבָר֙ בְּכָל־ בֵּ֣ית אָבִ֔י כִּ֠י לֹֽא־ יָדַ֤ע עַבְדְּךָ֙ בְּכָל־ זֹ֔את דָּבָ֥ר קָטֹ֖ן א֥וֹ גָדֽוֹל׃

16But the king said, "You will surely die, Ahimelek, you and your whole family."

16וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ מ֥וֹת תָּמ֖וּת אֲחִימֶ֑לֶךְ אַתָּ֖ה וְכָל־ בֵּ֥ית אָבִֽיךָ׃

17Then the king ordered the guards at his side: "Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because they too have sided with David. They knew he was fleeing, yet they did not tell me." But the king's officials were unwilling to raise a hand to strike the priests of the LORD.

17וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַמֶּ֡לֶךְ לָרָצִים֩ הַנִּצָּבִ֨ים עָלָ֜יו סֹ֥בּוּ וְהָמִ֣יתוּ ׀ כֹּהֲנֵ֣י יְהוָ֗ה כִּ֤י גַם־ יָדָם֙ עִם־ דָּוִ֔ד וְכִ֤י יָֽדְעוּ֙ כִּֽי־ בֹרֵ֣חַ ה֔וּא וְלֹ֥א גָל֖וּ אֶת־ [אזנו] (אָזְנִ֑י) וְלֹֽא־ אָב֞וּ עַבְדֵ֤י הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ לִשְׁלֹ֣חַ אֶת־ יָדָ֔ם לִפְגֹ֖עַ בְּכֹהֲנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ ס

18The king then ordered Doeg, "You turn and strike down the priests." So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck them down. That day he killed eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod.

18וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ [לדויג] (לְדוֹאֵ֔ג) סֹ֣ב אַתָּ֔ה וּפְגַ֖ע בַּכֹּהֲנִ֑ים וַיִּסֹּ֞ב [דויג] (דּוֹאֵ֣ג) הָאֲדֹמִ֗י וַיִּפְגַּע־ הוּא֙ בַּכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים וַיָּ֣מֶת ׀ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא שְׁמֹנִ֤ים וַחֲמִשָּׁה֙ אִ֔ישׁ נֹשֵׂ֖א אֵפ֥וֹד בָּֽד׃

19He also put to the sword Nob, the town of the priests, with its men and women, its children and infants, and its cattle, donkeys and sheep.

19וְאֵ֨ת נֹ֤ב עִיר־ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ הִכָּ֣ה לְפִי־ חֶ֔רֶב מֵאִישׁ֙ וְעַד־ אִשָּׁ֔ה מֵעוֹלֵ֖ל וְעַד־ יוֹנֵ֑ק וְשׁ֧וֹר וַחֲמ֛וֹר וָשֶׂ֖ה לְפִי־ חָֽרֶב׃

20But one son of Ahimelek son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled to join David.

20וַיִּמָּלֵ֣ט בֵּן־ אֶחָ֗ד לַאֲחִימֶ֙לֶךְ֙ בֶּן־ אֲחִט֔וּב וּשְׁמ֖וֹ אֶבְיָתָ֑ר וַיִּבְרַ֖ח אַחֲרֵ֥י דָוִֽד׃

21He told David that Saul had killed the priests of the LORD.

21וַיַּגֵּ֥ד אֶבְיָתָ֖ר לְדָוִ֑ד כִּ֚י הָרַ֣ג שָׁא֔וּל אֵ֖ת כֹּהֲנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃

22Then David said to Abiathar, "That day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, I knew he would be sure to tell Saul. I am responsible for the death of your whole family.

22וַיֹּ֨אמֶר דָּוִ֜ד לְאֶבְיָתָ֗ר יָדַ֜עְתִּי בַּיּ֤וֹם הַהוּא֙ כִּֽי־ שָׁם֙ [דויג] (דּוֹאֵ֣ג) הָאֲדֹמִ֔י כִּֽי־ הַגֵּ֥ד יַגִּ֖יד לְשָׁא֑וּל אָנֹכִ֣י סַבֹּ֔תִי בְּכָל־ נֶ֖פֶשׁ בֵּ֥ית אָבִֽיךָ׃

23Stay with me; don't be afraid. The man who wants to kill you is trying to kill me too. You will be safe with me."

23שְׁבָ֤ה אִתִּי֙ אַל־ תִּירָ֔א כִּ֛י אֲשֶׁר־ יְבַקֵּ֥שׁ אֶת־ נַפְשִׁ֖י יְבַקֵּ֣שׁ אֶת־ נַפְשֶׁ֑ךָ כִּֽי־ מִשְׁמֶ֥רֶת אַתָּ֖ה עִמָּדִֽי׃
