¹² Saul said to Ahimelech, “Listen now, son of Ahitub.”

Ahimelech answered, “·Yes, master [^LHere I am, my lord/king].”

¹³ Saul said, “Why ·are [have] you and Jesse’s son [^Lconspired] against me? You gave him bread and a sword! You ·prayed to [consulted; inquired of] God for him. David has ·turned [rebelled; conspired; ^Lrisen up] against me and is ·waiting [lying in wait/ambush] ·to attack [for] me even now!”

¹⁴ Ahimelech answered [^Lthe king], “·You have no other servant who [^LWho of all your servants…?] is as ·loyal [faithful] as David, your own son-in-law and captain of your bodyguards. Everyone in your house ·respects [honors] him.
