1 SAMUEL 22:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
Did I then begin today to inquire of the LORD for him? Far be it from me! — Ahimelech's *ha'hayom hichalalti lishol lo et YHWH chililah li* (did I then begin today to inquire? Far be it from me!) suggests that his priestly consultations on David's behalf are routine, not exceptional. The priest claims innocence of knowledge regarding any rebellion; he provided assistance to one he understood to be the king's faithful servant.
