12 Saul said, "Listen now, son of Ahitub." "Yes, my lord," he answered.
12 And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord.
12 And Saul said, "Hear now, son of Ahitub." And he answered, "Here I am, my lord."
12 Saul said, "You listen to me, son of Ahitub!" "Certainly, master," he said.
12 And Saul said, "Hear now, son of Ahitub!" And he answered, "Here I am, my lord."
12 When they arrived, Saul shouted at him, "Listen to me, you son of Ahitub!" "What is it, my king?" Ahimelech asked.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Samuel 22:12
Commentary on 1 Samuel 22:6-19
(Read 1 Samuel 22:6-19)
See the nature of jealous malice and its pitiful arts. Saul looks upon all about him as his enemies, because they do not just say as he says. In Ahimelech's answer to Saul we have the language of conscious innocence. But what wickedness will not the evil spirit hurry men to when he gets the dominion! Saul alleges that which was utterly false and unproved. But the most bloody tyrants have found instruments of their cruelty as barbarous as themselves. Doeg, having murdered the priests, went to the city, Nob, and put all to the sword there. Nothing so vile but those may do it, who have provoked God to give them up to their hearts' lusts. Yet this was the accomplishment of the threatenings against the house of Eli. Though Saul was unrighteous in doing this, yet God was righteous in permitting it. No word of God shall fall to the ground.
