1 Samuel 23:6-9
La Bible du Semeur
6 Il faut dire que quand Abiatar, fils d’Ahimélek, s’était enfui auprès de David à Qeïla, il avait emporté avec lui l’éphod servant à consulter l’Eternel.
7 On fit savoir à Saül que David était allé à Qeïla ; alors il s’écria : Dieu l’a livré en mon pouvoir, car il s’est lui-même enfermé dans un piège en entrant dans une ville qui a des portes et des verrous.
8 Il mobilisa tous ses hommes pour marcher sur Qeïla et assiéger David et sa troupe. 9 David apprit quel mauvais dessein Saül méditait contre lui. Aussi demanda-t-il au prêtre Abiatar d’apporter l’éphod.

New King James Version
6 Now it happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech (A)fled to David at Keilah, that he went down with an ephod in his hand.
7 And Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah. So Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he has shut himself in by entering a town that has gates and bars.” 8 Then Saul called all the people together for war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.
9 When David knew that Saul plotted evil against him, (B)he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”
