(20) В¶ And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
The flight of Abiathar to David, should serve to teach every persecuted soul that Jesus, the Son of David, must be fled to in all seasons of distress. It is he which receiveth the sinner under the threatened pursuit of law and justice, and affords shelter in his righteousness against all their claims.
