1 Samuel 22:8
The Message
6-8 Saul got word of the whereabouts of David and his men. He was sitting under the big oak on the hill at Gibeah at the time, spear in hand, holding court surrounded by his officials. He said, “Listen here, you Benjaminites! Don’t think for a minute that you have any future with the son of Jesse! Do you think he’s going to hand over choice land, give you all influential jobs? Think again. Here you are, conspiring against me, whispering behind my back—not one of you is man enough to tell me that my own son is making deals with the son of Jesse, not one of you who cares enough to tell me that my son has taken the side of this, this ...outlaw!”

New International Version
8 Is that why you have all conspired(A) against me? No one tells me when my son makes a covenant(B) with the son of Jesse.(C) None of you is concerned(D) about me or tells me that my son has incited my servant to lie in wait for me, as he does today.”
