1. Companies resort unto David at Adullam
3. At Mizpeh he commends his parents unto the king of Moab
5. Admonished by Gad, he comes to Hareth,
6. Saul going to pursue him, complains of his servants' unfaithfulness

17. The footmen refusing, Doeg executes it
20. Abiathar escaping, brings David the news














(10) And he enquired of the Lord for him.--This is, however, by no means certain (see below); nothing was said about the Urim and Thummim being brought out and questioned by the high priest on the occasion of David's visit. It is possible that Doeg was misled here by the fact of the high priest's going into the sanctuary, where the ephod was, to fetch the sword of Goliath for David. This famous sword was laid up, we know, behind the ephod.
