"David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, "Bring the ephod here.""
— 1 Samuel 23:9, World English Bible
“And David knew that Saul secretly practised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.”
“And David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod. ”
“When David realized that Saul was planning to harm him, he told Abiathar the priest,“Bring the ephod!””
“Now when David understood that Saul secretly prepared evil against him, he said to Abiathar, the priest: Bring hither the ephod.”
“And it was clear to David that Saul had evil designs against him, and he said to Abiathar the priest, Come here with the ephod.”
“And David knew that Saul secretly practised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod.”
It happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.
It was told Saul that David had come to Keilah. Saul said, "God has delivered him into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that has gates and bars."
Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men.
David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, "Bring the ephod here."
Then David said, "O Yahweh, the God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake.
Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? Will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? Yahweh, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell your servant." Yahweh said, "He will come down."
Then David said, "Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?" Yahweh said, "They will deliver you up."
