Theological / Devotional

Shewed David. Literally, he “caused David to know.” Obviously David had not heard the news before. Therefore this verse indicates that the atrocity had happened immediately preceding Abiathar’s arrival at Keilah rather than some time earlier in connection with David’s visit to Nob.
