I Samuel Chapter 22 Shares the Account of David’s and His Family with His Followers

False Accusations

When No Repentance Is Realized It Just Keeps Getting Worst

You never stop sinning if you keep pursuing meddling other’s lives than to focus on your own.

*King Saul ordered to massacre the Kohanim (Priests) because of false accusations.

“The Flight of David”
“Saul’s Order to Massacre the Priests”

David went from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. His brothers and all his father’s house heard about this, and went down to him there.
22:1
David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab, and he said to the king of Moab, “Let my father and mother come out here and be with you until I know what God will do with me.”
22:3
Saul said to his servants who were standing about him, “Listen now, [fellow] Benjamites. Is the son of Jesse going to give you all fields and vineyards, is he going to make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds,
:7
that you have all organized against me and no one revealed to me that my son covenanted with the son of Jesse; and taht none among you is distressed for me or reveals to me that my son has incited my servant to rise up and ambush me, [as clearly] as this day?”
:9
Saul said to him, “Why did you organize against me — you and the son of Jesse — by giving him food and a sword, and inquiring of God for him, so that he could arise and ambush me, [as clearly] as this day?”
:13
Ahimelech answered the king, and said, “Who among all your servants is as trustworthy as David? He is the king’s son-in-law, obeys your bidding, and is honored in your household.
:14
But the king said, “You must die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house!”
:16
… But the servants of the king were not willing to send forth their hand to slay the Kohanim of Hashem.
:17
So the king said to Doeg, “You circle around and slay the Kohanim!” Doeg the Edomite circled around and he killed the Kohanim; on that day he killed eighty-five men, wearers of linen robes.
:18
One son of Ahimelech son of Ahitub — his name was Abiathar — escaped, and he fled to David.
:20
Abiathar told David that Saul had massacred the Kohanim of Hashem.
:21
David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day that Doeg the Edomite was there and that he would certainly inform Saul. I am responsible for every life of your father’s house!
:22

1 And David went away from there, and escaped to the cave of Adullam. And his brothers and all his father’s household heard, and went down to him there.
2 And every man who was in distress, and every man who had a creditor, and every man of embittered spirit, gathered themselves to him, and he became a chief over them; and there were about four hundred men with him.
3 And David went from there to Mizpeh Moab, and he said to the king of Moab, “Let my father and mother come out now with you, until I know what God will do for me.”
4 And he brought them before the king of Moab; and they stayed with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.
5 And Gad the prophet said to David, “You shall not stay in the stronghold. Go and enter the land of Judah.” And David went, and came to the forest of Hereth.
6 And Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had become known, and Saul was sitting in Gibeah under the tamarisk tree on a hill, and his spear was in his hand, and all his servants were standing by him.
7 And Saul said to his servants who were standing by him, “Hearken now, O Benjamites, will the son of Jesse also give all of you fields and vineyards? Will he appoint all of you captains of thousands and captains of hundreds?
8 For all of you have rebelled against me, and no one reveals to me when my son made a covenant with the son of Jesse, and no one of you feels sorry for me, or reveals to me that my son has incited my servant to rise up against me, to lie in wait as of this day.”
9 Then Doeg the Edomite, who was appointed over Saul’s servants, answered and said, “I saw the son of Jesse come to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
10 And he inquired of the Lord on his behalf, and gave him provisions, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
11 And the king sent to call Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, the priest, and all of his father’s household, the priests who were in Nob; and they all came to the king.
12 And Saul said, “Listen now, O son of Ahitub.” And he said, “Here I am, my lord.”
13 And Saul said to him, “Why have you rebelled against me, you and the son of Jesse, by your giving him food and a sword, and by inquiring of God on his behalf, to rise up against me as one who lies in wait as of this day?”
14 And Ahimelech answered the king, and said, “Now, who among all your servants is as faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, and who goes to do your service, and is honored in your house?
15 Have I begun today to inquire of God on his behalf? Far be it from me. Let not the king impute anything to his servant nor to all my father’s household, for your servant knew nothing of all this, less, or more.”
16 And the king said, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s household.”
17 And the king said to the footmen who were standing beside him, “Turn and put the priests of the Lord to death, for their hand is also with David, and because they knew that he was fleeing, and they did not inform me.” And the king’s servants would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the Lord.
18 And the king said to Doeg, “You turn, and fall upon the priests.” And Doeg turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew on that day eighty-five men, wearers of the linen ephod.
19 And Nob, the city of the priests, he smote with the sharp edge of the sword, both man and woman, infant and suckling, and ox and ass, and lamb, with the sharp edge of the sword.
20 And one son of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, whose name was Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.
21 And Abiathar told David that Saul had slain the priests of the Lord.
22 And David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day that Doeg the Edomite was there, (and) that he would tell Saul. I brought about the death of every person of your father’s household!
23 Stay with me; fear not, for he who seeks my soul seeks your soul, for you shall be in safeguard with me.”

Bible reading in the form of Scripture in pictures can have a profound impact on those who may have never read a chapter in the Hebrew Bible (Old Testament). Viewing pivotal verses in a visual context can deepen one’s understanding of the text and provide a unique perspective. The images may help to illustrate important themes and messages that may not have been as easily grasped through standard reading. Additionally, this method can be particularly beneficial for those who struggle with traditional reading methods or for those who are more visually inclined. The power of visual storytelling has been utilized for centuries, and when paired with the timeless words of Scripture, it has the potential to bring new life and meaning to the ancient text. Ultimately, whatever method one chooses to engage with the Bible, the most important thing is to seek a deeper understanding of God’s word, and to apply it to our lives in a meaningful way.
