Then Saul said to him, "Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day?". So Ahimelech answered the king and said, "And who among all your servants [is as] faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, who goes at your bidding, and is honorable in your house?.

فهل اليوم ابتدات اسال له من الله حاشا لي لا ينسب الملك شيئا لعبده ولا لجميع بيت ابي لان عبدك لم يعلم شيئا من كل هذا صغيرا او كبيرا. فقال الملك موتا تموت يا اخيمالك انت وكل بيت ابيك. (1صم 22 : 11 – 16)

And David said in his heart, "Now I shall perish someday by the hand of Saul. [There is] nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape to the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me anymore in any part of Israel. So I shall escape out of his hand". Then David arose and went over with the six hundred men who [were] with him to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath. (1 Sam 27 : 1 – 2)
