And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast enquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?

Verse 13 is found in chapter 22 of 1 Samuel. Saul accuses the priests of Nob of conspiring with David. Ahimelech responds that David was considered faithful to the king and that he knew nothing of any rebellion. Saul orders the priests killed, and when his servants refuse, Doeg carries out the order. The slaughter at Nob represents one of the most serious manifestations of Saul’s abuse of power. The king uses his authority to punish people who, according to the account itself, acted without knowledge of the alleged conspiracy.

Und Saul sprach zu ihm: Warum habt ihr einen Bund wider mich gemacht, du und der Sohn Isais, daß du ihm Brot und Schwert gegeben und Gott für ihn gefragt hast, daß du ihn erweckest, daß er mir nachstelle, wie es am Tage ist?
Y díjole Saúl: ¿Por qué habéis conspirado contra mí, tú y el hijo de Isaí, cuando tú le diste pan y espada, y consultaste por él a Dios, para que se levantase contra mí y me acechase, como lo hace hoy día?
Saúl le preguntó: «¿Por qué han conspirado contra mí tú y el hijo de Isaí? Le diste pan y una espada, y consultaste a Dios por él, para que se levantara contra mí y me tendiera una emboscada, como sucede hoy».
Saül lui dit: Pourquoi avez-vous conspiré contre moi, toi et le fils d'Isaï? Pourquoi lui as-tu donné du pain et une épée, et as-tu consulté Dieu pour lui, afin qu'il s'élevât contre moi et me dressât des embûches, comme il le fait aujourd'hui?
E Saulle disse: Perchè vi siete congiurati contro a me, tu e il figliuolo d’Isai? conciossiachè tu gli abbi dato del pane ed una spada, ed abbia domandato Iddio per lui, acciocchè egli si levi contro a me, per pormi insidie, come egli fa oggi.
Então lhe disse Saul: Por que conspirastes contra mim, tu e o filho de Jessé? Pois deste-lhe pão e espada, e consultaste por ele a Deus, para que se levantasse contra mim a armar-me ciladas, como se vê neste dia?
掃羅 對他說:「你為甚麼與 耶西 的兒子結黨害我,把食物和刀給他,又為他求問上帝,使他起來謀害我,像今日這樣?」
