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?

约拿单问：“为什么要杀他？他做了什么？”

约拿单就在父亲面前替大卫说好话，他说：“王不要伤害大卫，他从来没有对不起王，他所做的使王大受益处。他冒着生命危险去杀非利士人，耶和华使以色列人大获全胜，当时你看见了，非常欢喜，现在为什么要犯罪，枉杀无辜的大卫呢？”

以色列人彼此议论说：“看那个人！他是来向以色列军骂阵的。谁要能杀死他，王必有重赏，还会把女儿嫁给他为妻，并免去他父亲家在以色列应缴的赋税。”

扫罗说：“你为什么和耶西的儿子一同谋害我？你为什么把食物和刀给他，又为他求问耶和华，使他像今天这样背叛我，伺机害我呢？”

被拉去屠杀的，你要抢救；踉跄受死的，你要拦阻。不要推说自己毫不知情，鉴察人心的主洞悉一切，保守你生命的上帝知情，祂必按你的行为报应你。

要为不能自辩者说话，为一切不幸的人申冤。你要发言，秉公审判，为贫穷困苦者主持公道。
