He has done no wrong to you; on the contrary, his actions have greatly benefited you. 5 He risked his life to kill the Philistine, and the LORD brought about a great victory for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced.

David fled and escaped that night. 11 Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him and to kill him in the morning.

Of course not! Far be it from me! Let not the king accuse me or any of my father's family, for your servant knows nothing about this whole affair—whether great or small.' 16 The king said, 'You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and your whole family.' 17 Then the king ordered the guards standing by him, 'Turn and kill the priests of the Lord, because they are allies of David. They knew he was fleeing but didn’t inform me.'
