Institution of the Lord’s Supper

²³For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; ²⁴and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, ^[^a^]“Take, eat; this is My body which is ^[^b^]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” ²⁵In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

New King James Version

David’s Four Hundred Men

22 David therefore departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. So when his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him. ²And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was ^[^a^]discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him.

³Then David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and mother come here with you, till I know what God will do for me.” ⁴So he brought them before the king of Moab, and they dwelt with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.

⁵Now the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold; depart, and go to the land of Judah.” So David departed and went into the forest of Hereth.

Saul Murders the Priests

⁶When Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been discovered—now Saul was staying in Gibeah under a tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants standing about him— ⁷then Saul said to his servants who stood about him, “Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds? ⁸All of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who reveals to me that my son has made a covenant with the son of Jesse; and there is not one of you who is sorry for me or reveals to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day.”

1 Samuel 22:2 Lit. bitter of soul

New King James Version (NKJV)

“22:1-4 | David’s great-grandmother Ruth was a Moabitess (Ruth 4:13-17) and the king of Moab warned against Saul (14:47), so Moab was naturally a place for David to seek refuge for his family.’

’22:1, 2 | Samuel had warned the people that a king would tax the people and make use of their resources for his own work (8:10-18). It is possible Saul had levied a heavy tax upon the inhabitants of Israel, and that many of these victims—in debt and discontented and in distress—decided to join David when they heard that he was in exile. The cave of Adullam was where David composed Psalm 142.’

’22:7, 8 | As Samuel predicted (8:14) and just as the kings of other nations did, Saul took the people’s land and gave it to his commanders. Despite Saul’s bribes, his commanders remained loyal to David and would not give him up.” (THE JEREMIAH STUDY BIBLE—DR. DAVID JEREMIAH—NEW KING JAMES STUDY BIBLE—WORTHY)

Amplified Bible

⁵
I cried out to You, O Lord;
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.
⁶
“Give attention to my cry,
For I am brought very low;
Rescue me from my persecutors,
For they are stronger than I.
⁷
“Bring my soul out of prison (adversity),
So that I may give thanks and praise Your name;
The righteous will surround me [in triumph],
For You will look after me.”
