Doeg the Edomite Reports to Saul

When Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been found,[a] he[b] was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree on the hill, with his spear in his hand. All his officials[c] were standing around him. Saul told his officials who were standing around him, “Listen, men of Benjamin! Will Jesse’s son also give fields and vineyards to all of you? Will he make all of you officers over thousands and officers over hundreds? But all of you have conspired against me, and no one tells me[d] about my son’s covenant[e] with Jesse’s son. None of you feels sorry for me and tells me that my son has stirred up my servant against me to lie in wait, as he’s doing[f] this day.”
