1 Samuel22:10
10 And he enquired of the LORD for him , and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliah the Philistine.
This is not Recorded, Chap. 21. and therefore some think, that Doeg to curry-favour with Saul, feigned this; for it is certain, David chargeth him with the Sin of Lying, Psal. 52. 3. though it is not improbable, that he told other Lies also, not here expressed; and withal, he was guilty o[illegible: 1+ letters] concealing part of the Truth, which in this case he was obliged to declare for Ahimelech's just Defence; to wit, the cunning pretence and artifice whereby David circumvented Ahimeleth. Others think this was true, because Ahimelech seems to confess it, v. 15. though that may be spoken by way of concession. If it were so as Doeg declares, this was no new thing. Then he might add, that it was not so; though this be not here mentioned: for it is evident, That all his Answer or Apology, is not here expressed; for here is not a word of the Victuals or Sword which he gave him.
