1 Samuel 22:13-15
International Standard Version
1 Samuel 22:13-15
International Standard Version
13 Then Saul[a] asked him, “Why have you conspired against me—you and Jesse’s son—by giving him food and a sword, and by inquiring of God for him, so he can rise up against me to lie in wait, as he’s doing[b] today?”
14 Ahimelech answered the king, “Who among all your officials[c] is as faithful as David? He is the king’s son-in-law, the captain of your bodyguard, and he’s honored in your household. 15 Is today the first time I inquired of God for him? Absolutely not! The king shouldn’t accuse his servant, or any of my father’s family of anything, because your servant didn’t know anything at all[d] about this.”
