Verse 10 is found in chapter 21 of 1 Samuel. Doeg the Edomite is present at Nob and observes the encounter between David and Ahimelech. David continues his flight and eventually reaches Achish, king of Gath, where the Philistine servants recognize him. To avoid being identified as an enemy, David changes his behavior and is expelled. The episode shows the precariousness of his situation: the future king of Israel even seeks refuge among his enemies. The narrative emphasizes how far David has fallen from his position at court.
