וַיְהִי בִּבְרֹחַ אֶבְיָתָר בֶּן־אֲחִימֶלֶךְ אֶל־דָּוִד קְעִילָה אֵפוֹד יָרַד בְּיָדֽוֹ׃
When Evyosor son of Achimelech fled to Dovid to Ke'iloh, he brought down the eiphod with him.

וַיֻּגַּד לְשָׁאוּל כִּי־בָא דָוִד קְעִילָה וַיֹּאמֶר שָׁאוּל נִכַּר אֹתוֹ אֱלֹהִים בְּיָדִי כִּי נִסְגַּר לָבוֹא בְּעִיר דְּלָתַיִם וּבְרִֽיחַ׃
It was told to Shaul that Dovid had come Ke'iloh, and Shaul said, "God has given him into my hand, for he has been shut in by entering a city that has doors and a bolt."

Rashi
נסגר לבא בעיר דלתים ובריח. ויבטח בכך, ולא יחוש לברוח ממנו:
For he has been shut in by entering a city that has doors and a bolt. He will rely on that, and will not care to flee from it.
וַיְשַׁמַּע שָׁאוּל אֶת־כׇּל־הָעָם לַמִּלְחָמָה לָרֶדֶת קְעִילָה לָצוּר אֶל־דָּוִד וְאֶל־אֲנָשָֽׁיו׃
Shaul summoned all the people for war, to go down to Ke'iloh to besiege Dovid and his men.

וַיֵּדַע דָּוִד כִּי עָלָיו שָׁאוּל מַחֲרִישׁ הָרָעָה וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־אֶבְיָתָר הַכֹּהֵן הַגִּישָׁה הָאֵפֽוֹד׃ {ס}
Dovid knew that Shaul was planning evil against him, so he said to Evyosor the kohein, "Bring over the eiphod."

Rashi
מחריש הרעה. (תרגום:) כמין ית בישתא:
Planning evil. Plotting the evil.
נכר אותו אלהים בידי. הסגיר, וכן (עובדיה א יב): אל תרא ביום אחיך ביום נכרו. וממשקל החזקים הוא, כמו (איכה ב ט): אבד ושבר בריחיה. ואם בקש לדבר במשקולת הרפים, היה נקוד נכר:
s God has given him into my hand. Meaning, delivered, and similarly, "And do not look on, on the day of your brother, on the day of his being delivered [נכרו]."1Ovadyoh 1:12. This is the conjugation of the strong [verbs e.g., Pi'el], as in, "He destroyed and broke her bars."2Eichah 2:9. If he desired to speak in the conjugation of the weak [verbs e.g., Kal], it would have been punctuated thus: נָכַר.
