Did I then begin to enquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.

Verse 15 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.

Habe ich denn heute erst angefangen Gott für ihn zu fragen? Das sei ferne von mir! Der König lege solches seinem Knecht nicht auf noch meines Vaters ganzem Hause; denn dein Knecht hat von allem diesem nichts gewußt, weder Kleines noch Großes.
¿He comenzado yo desde hoy a consultar por él a Dios? lejos sea de mí: no impute el rey cosa alguna a su siervo, ni a toda la casa de mi padre; porque tu siervo ninguna cosa sabe de este negocio, grande ni chica.
¿Acaso hoy he comenzado a consultar a Dios por él? ¡De ningún modo! Que el rey no acuse de nada a su servidor ni a toda la familia de mi padre. Tu servidor no sabía nada de este asunto, ni poco ni mucho».
Est-ce aujourd'hui que j'ai commencé à consulter Dieu pour lui? Loin de moi! Que le roi ne mette rien à la charge de son serviteur ni de personne de la maison de mon père, car ton serviteur ne connaît de tout ceci aucune chose, petite ou grande.
Ho io cominciato oggi a domandare Iddio per lui? tolga ciò Iddio da me; non apponga il re cosa alcuna al suo servitore, nè a tutta la famiglia di mio padre; perciocchè il tuo servitore non sa cosa alcuna, nè piccola nè grande, di tutto questo.
Comecei, porventura, hoje a consultar por ele a Deus? Longe de mim tal! Não impute o rei coisa nenhuma a seu servo, nem a toda a casa de meu pai, pois o teu servo não soube nada de tudo isso, nem muito nem pouco.
我今日才開始為他求問上帝嗎?絕非如此!王不要歸罪於我和我父全家,因為這事,無論大小,僕人都不知情。」
