  1. 1David therefore departed thence, and escaped to the cave Adullam: and when his brethren and all his father's house heard it, they went down thither to him.וַיֵּ֤לֶךְ דָּוִד֙ מִשָּׁ֔ם וַיִּמָּלֵ֖ט אֶל מְעָרַ֣ת עֲדֻלָּ֑ם וַיִּשְׁמְע֤וּ אֶחָיו֙ וְכָל בֵּ֣ית אָבִ֔יו וַיֵּרְד֥וּ אֵלָ֖יו שָֽׁמָּה
  2. 2And every one that was in distress, and every one that was in debt, and every one that was discontented, gathered themselves unto him; and he became a captain over them: and there were with him about four hundred men.וַיִּֽתְקַבְּצ֣וּ אֵ֠לָיו כָּל אִ֨ישׁ מָצ֜וֹק וְכָל אִ֨ישׁ אֲשֶׁר נֹשֶׁא֙ וְכָל אִ֣ישׁ מַר נֶ֔פֶשׁ וַיְהִ֥י עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם לְשָׂ֑ר וַיִּהְי֣וּ עִמּ֔וֹ כְּאַרְבַּ֥ע מֵא֖וֹת אִֽישׁ
  3. 3And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me.וַיֵּ֧לֶךְ דָּוִ֛ד מִשָּׁ֖ם מִצְפֵּ֣ה מוֹאָ֑ב וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֶל מֶ֣לֶךְ מוֹאָ֗ב יֵֽצֵא נָ֞א אָבִ֤י וְאִמִּי֙ אִתְּכֶ֔ם עַ֚ד אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֵדַ֔ע מַה יַּֽעֲשֶׂה אֱלֹהִֽים
  4. 4And he brought them before the king of Moab: and they dwelt with him all the while that David was in the hold.וַיַּנְחֵ֕ם אֶת פְּנֵ֖י מֶ֣לֶךְ מוֹאָ֑ב וַיֵּשְׁב֣וּ עִמּ֔וֹ כָּל יְמֵ֥י הֱיוֹת דָּוִ֖ד בַּמְּצוּדָֽה
  5. 5And the prophet Gad said unto David, Abide not in the hold; depart, and get thee into the land of Judah. Then David departed, and came into the forest of Hareth.וַיֹּאמֶר֩ גָּ֨ד הַנָּבִ֜יא אֶל דָּוִ֗ד לֹ֤א תֵשֵׁב֙ בַּמְּצוּדָ֔ה לֵ֥ךְ וּבָֽאתָ אֶ֣רֶץ יְהוּדָ֑ה וַיֵּ֣לֶךְ דָּוִ֔ד וַיָּבֹ֖א יַ֥עַר חָֽרֶת
  6. 6When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that were with him, (now Saul abode in Gibeah under a tree in Ramah, having his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him;)וַיִּשְׁמַ֣ע שָׁא֔וּל כִּ֚י נוֹדַ֣ע דָּוִ֔ד וַאֲנָשִׁ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר אִתּ֑וֹ וְשָׁאוּל֩ יוֹשֵׁ֨ב בַּגִּבְעָ֜ה תַּֽחַת הָאֶ֤שֶׁל בָּֽרָמָה֙ וַחֲנִית֣וֹ בְיָד֔וֹ וְכָל עֲבָדָ֖יו נִצָּבִ֥ים עָלָֽיו
  7. 7Then Saul said unto his servants that stood about him, Hear now, ye Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds;וַיֹּ֣אמֶר שָׁא֗וּל לַֽעֲבָדָיו֙ הַנִּצָּבִ֣ים עָלָ֔יו שִׁמְעוּ נָ֖א בְּנֵ֣י יְמִינִ֑י גַּם לְכֻלְּכֶ֗ם יִתֵּ֤ן בֶּן יִשַׁי֙ שָׂד֣וֹת וּכְרָמִ֔ים לְכֻלְּכֶ֣ם יָשִׂ֔ים שָׂרֵ֥י אֲלָפִ֖ים וְשָׂרֵ֥י מֵאֽוֹת
  8. 8That all of you have conspired against me, and there is none that sheweth me that my son hath made a league with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or sheweth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?כִּי֩ קְשַׁרְתֶּ֨ם כֻּלְּכֶ֜ם עָלַ֗י וְאֵין גֹּלֶ֤ה אֶת אָזְנִי֙ בִּכְרָת בְּנִ֣י עִם בֶּן יִשַׁ֔י וְאֵין חֹלֶ֥ה מִכֶּ֛ם עָלַ֖י וְגֹלֶ֣ה אֶת אָזְנִ֑י כִּ֣י הֵקִים֩ בְּנִ֨י אֶת עַבְדִּ֥י עָלַ֛י לְאֹרֵ֖ב כַּיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה
  9. 9Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.וַיַּ֜עַן דֹּאֵ֣ג הָאֲדֹמִ֗י וְה֛וּא נִצָּ֥ב עַל עַבְדֵֽי שָׁא֖וּל וַיֹּאמַ֑ר רָאִ֨יתִי֙ אֶת בֶּן יִשַׁ֔י בָּ֣א נֹ֔בֶה אֶל אֲחִימֶ֖לֶךְ בֶּן אֲחִטֽוּב
  10. 10And he enquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.וַיִּשְׁאַל בַּֽיהוָ֔ה וְצֵידָ֖ה נָ֣תַן וְאֵ֗ת חֶ֛רֶב גָּלְיָ֥ת הַפְּלִשְׁתִּ֖י נָ֥תַן
  11. 11Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.וַיִּשְׁלַ֣ח הַמֶּ֡לֶךְ לִקְרֹא֩ אֶת אֲחִימֶ֨לֶךְ בֶּן אֲחִיט֜וּב הַכֹּהֵ֗ן וְאֵ֨ת כָּל בֵּ֥ית אָבִ֛יו הַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּנֹ֑ב וַיָּבֹ֥אוּ כֻלָּ֖ם אֶל הַמֶּֽלֶךְ
  12. 12And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.וַיֹּ֣אמֶר שָׁא֔וּל שְֽׁמַֽע נָ֖א בֶּן אֲחִיט֑וּב וַיֹּ֖אמֶר הִנְנִ֥י אֲדֹנִֽי
  13. 13And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast enquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?וַיֹּ֤אמֶר אלו אֵלָיו֙ שָׁא֔וּל לָ֚מָּה קְשַׁרְתֶּ֣ם עָלַ֔י אַתָּ֖ה וּבֶן יִשָׁ֑י בְּתִתְּךָ֨ לֶ֣חֶם וְחֶ֗רֶב וְשָׁא֥וֹל בֵּֽאלֹהִ֔ים לָק֥וּם אֵלַ֛י לְאֹרֵ֖ב כַּיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה
  14. 14Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who is so faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the king's son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in thine house?וַיַּ֧עַן אֲחִימֶ֛לֶךְ אֶת הַמֶּ֖לֶךְ וַיֹּאמַ֑ר וּמִ֤י בְכָל עֲבָדֶ֨יךָ֙ כְּדָוִ֣ד נֶאֱמָ֔ן וַחֲתַ֥ן הַמֶּ֛לֶךְ וְסָ֥ר אֶל מִשְׁמַעְתֶּ֖ךָ וְנִכְבָּ֥ד בְּבֵיתֶֽךָ
  15. 15Did I then begin to enquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.הַיּ֧וֹם הַחִלֹּ֛תִי לשאול לִשְׁאָל ל֥וֹ בֵאלֹהִ֖ים חָלִ֣ילָה אַל יָשֵׂם֩ הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ בְּעַבְדּ֤וֹ דָבָר֙ בְּכָל בֵּ֣ית אָבִ֔י כִּ֠י לֹֽא יָדַ֤ע עַבְדְּךָ֙ בְּכָל זֹ֔את דָּבָ֥ר קָטֹ֖ן א֥וֹ גָדֽוֹל
  16. 16And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house.וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ מ֥וֹת תָּמ֖וּת אֲחִימֶ֑לֶךְ אַתָּ֖ה וְכָל בֵּ֥ית אָבִֽיךָ
  17. 17And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not shew it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.וַיֹּ֣אמֶר הַמֶּ֡לֶךְ לָרָצִים֩ הַנִּצָּבִ֨ים עָלָ֜יו סֹ֥בּוּ וְהָמִ֣יתוּ כֹּהֲנֵ֣י יְהוָ֗ה כִּ֤י גַם יָדָם֙ עִם דָּוִ֔ד וְכִ֤י יָֽדְעוּ֙ כִּֽי בֹרֵ֣חַ ה֔וּא וְלֹ֥א גָל֖וּ אֶת אזנו אָזְנִ֑י וְלֹֽא אָב֞וּ עַבְדֵ֤י הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ לִשְׁלֹ֣חַ אֶת יָדָ֔ם לִפְגֹ֖עַ בְּכֹהֲנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה
  18. 18And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod.וַיֹּ֤אמֶר הַמֶּ֨לֶךְ֙ לדויג לְדוֹאֵ֔ג סֹ֣ב אַתָּ֔ה וּפְגַ֖ע בַּכֹּהֲנִ֑ים וַיִּסֹּ֞ב דויג דּוֹאֵ֣ג הָאֲדֹמִ֗י וַיִּפְגַּע הוּא֙ בַּכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים וַיָּ֣מֶת בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֗וּא שְׁמֹנִ֤ים וַחֲמִשָּׁה֙ אִ֔ישׁ נֹשֵׂ֖א אֵפ֥וֹד בָּֽד
  19. 19And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.וְאֵ֨ת נֹ֤ב עִיר הַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ הִכָּ֣ה לְפִי חֶ֔רֶב מֵאִישׁ֙ וְעַד אִשָּׁ֔ה מֵעוֹלֵ֖ל וְעַד יוֹנֵ֑ק וְשׁ֧וֹר וַחֲמ֛וֹר וָשֶׂ֖ה לְפִי חָֽרֶב
  20. 20And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.וַיִּמָּלֵ֣ט בֵּן אֶחָ֗ד לַאֲחִימֶ֨לֶךְ֙ בֶּן אֲחִט֔וּב וּשְׁמ֖וֹ אֶבְיָתָ֑ר וַיִּבְרַ֖ח אַחֲרֵ֥י דָוִֽד
  21. 21And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had slain the LORD'S priests.וַיַּגֵּ֥ד אֶבְיָתָ֖ר לְדָוִ֑ד כִּ֚י הָרַ֣ג שָׁא֔וּל אֵ֖ת כֹּהֲנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה
  22. 22And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father's house.וַיֹּ֨אמֶר דָּוִ֜ד לְאֶבְיָתָ֗ר יָדַ֜עְתִּי בַּיּ֤וֹם הַהוּא֙ כִּֽי שָׁם֙ דויג דּוֹאֵ֣ג הָאֲדֹמִ֔י כִּֽי הַגֵּ֥ד יַגִּ֖יד לְשָׁא֑וּל אָנֹכִ֣י סַבֹּ֔תִי בְּכָל נֶ֖פֶשׁ בֵּ֥ית אָבִֽיךָ
  23. 23Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.שְׁבָ֤ה אִתִּי֙ אַל תִּירָ֔א כִּ֛י אֲשֶׁר יְבַקֵּ֥שׁ אֶת נַפְשִׁ֖י יְבַקֵּ֣שׁ אֶת נַפְשֶׁ֑ךָ כִּֽי מִשְׁמֶ֥רֶת אַתָּ֖ה עִמָּדִֽי

YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
