Ahimelek answered the king,“ Who of all your servants is as loyal as David, the king’s son-in-law, captain of your bodyguard and highly respected in your household?

Ahimelek answered the king,“ David is faithful to you. In fact, he’s more faithful to you than anyone else who serves you. He’s your own son- in- law. He’s the captain of your own personal guards. He’s highly respected by everyone in your palace.

Then Ahimelech answered the king,“ And who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, and captain over your bodyguard, and honored in your house?

“ But sir,” Ahimelech replied,“ is anyone among all your servants as faithful as David, your son in law? Why, he is the captain of your bodyguard and a highly honored member of your household!

Ahimelech replied to the king,“ Who among all your servants is as faithful as David? He is the king’s son-in-law, captain of your bodyguard, and honored in your house.

Then Ahimelech answered the king and said,“ And who among all your servants is as faithful as David, the king’s own son in law, who is commander over your bodyguard, and is honored in your house?

約拿單問：「為什麼要殺他？他做了什麼？」

約拿單就在父親面前替大衛說好話，他說：「王不要傷害大衛，他從來沒有對不起王，他所做的使王大受益處。他冒著生命危險去殺非利士人，耶和華使以色列人大獲全勝，當時你看見了，非常歡喜，現在為什麼要犯罪，枉殺無辜的大衛呢？」

以色列人彼此議論說：「看那個人！他是來向以色列軍罵陣的。誰要能殺死他，王必有重賞，還會把女兒嫁給他為妻，並免去他父親家在以色列應繳的賦稅。」

掃羅說：「你為什麼和耶西的兒子一同謀害我？你為什麼把食物和刀給他，又為他求問耶和華，使他像今天這樣背叛我，伺機害我呢？」

大衛答道：「王差遣我來辦一件事，他吩咐我不可把事情洩露給任何人。我已經吩咐部下在某處跟我會合。

耶和華賜福給公義、信實的人。今天耶和華把你交在我手中，但我不願下手傷害耶和華所膏立的王。

我父請看，你的這塊袍子在我手中。我割下了你的袍角，沒有殺你，現在你應該明白我並未圖謀背叛你。我沒有對不起你，你卻要置我於死地。

他把大衛調離自己身邊，立為千夫長，讓他領兵作戰。

「我遵守祂一切的法令，沒有把祂的律例棄置一旁。我在祂面前純全無過，沒有沾染罪惡。耶和華因我公義、在祂面前清白而獎賞我。

大衛和部下出去殺了二百個非利士人，把他們的包皮獻給掃羅，好做王的女婿。掃羅便把女兒米甲嫁給了大衛。

被拉去屠殺的，你要搶救；踉蹌受死的，你要攔阻。不要推說自己毫不知情，鑒察人心的主洞悉一切，保守你生命的上帝知情，祂必按你的行為報應你。

要為不能自辯者說話，為一切不幸的人伸冤。你要發言，秉公審判，為貧窮困苦者主持公道。
