Did I just begin to inquire of God for him today? Far be it from me! Do not let the king impute anything to his servant or to any of the household of my father, for your servant knows nothing at all of this whole affair."It is good to know that David sought the guidance of God, even before he was king. From what's said here, it sounds like he asked the priests for God's will often, probably with each campaign.
One thing I'm curious about, is why he didn't say that David had told him that he was doing the Saul's business? I would think it is at least possible that Saul would have reacted better if he'd known Ahimelech had been lied to. I can't say for certain, of course, but wouldn't the idea of David being a liar have fit better into Saul's image of him, and his rage would have been directed at David rather than the priests?
