1 Samuel 22:8 meaning and explanation
Is that why all of you have conspired against me? Not one of you told me that my own son had made a covenant with the son of Jesse. Not one of you has shown concern for me or revealed to me that my son has stirred up my own servant to lie in wait against me, as is the case today.”
1 Samuel 22:8, Berean Standard Bible

Saul is speaking to his servants at Gibeah, and his words show a king consumed by suspicion. He accuses his own tribe of Benjamin of conspiring against him because no one told him that Jonathan had made a covenant with David, or that his son had stirred up David to ambush him.
