1 Sam. 22:5      1 Sam. 22:7

First Samuel 22:6

And Saul heard that David had been found and that the men were with him. Saul was now sitting in [his hometown, see 1 Sam. 10:26] Gibeah under the tamarisk tree on the hill (Hebr. ramah) with his spear in his hand [as a scepter], and all his servants were standing around him.
[Saul performed his royal duties outdoors, which was not unusual, see 1 Sam. 14:2; Judg 4:5. The tamarisk tree grew in desert landscapes and was an unusual sight in the mountainous region around Gibeah. Perhaps this was a place of worship. Saul had previously ordered David to be killed, see 1 Sam. 19:1. When he now hears where David is, he gets excited and bursts out to all his men around him. He calls them "sons of Benjamin," which indicates that he had placed people from his own tribe in leading positions. He now alludes to their loyalty to his tribe and their greed.]
