22 At this David said to A·biʹa·thar: “I knew on that day,+ when Doʹeg the Eʹdom·ite was there, that he would be sure to tell Saul. I am personally responsible for the death of everyone* in your father’s house. 23 Stay with me. Do not be afraid, for whoever seeks your life* seeks my life;* you are under my protection.”+
