A usłyszawszy Saul, że się pojawił Dawid, i mężowie, którzy byli z nim, (bo Saul mieszkał w Gabaa pod gajem w Ramacie, mając włócznią swoję w rękach swych, a wszyscy słudzy jego stali przed nim).
Wieść o pojawieniu się Dawida i jego ludzi doszła Saula w Gibei. Siedział wówczas pod tamaryszkiem, na wzniesieniu, w ręce trzymał włócznię, a przy nim stali wszyscy jego ludzie.
Ale gdy Saul usłyszał, że wykryto Dawida wraz z ludźmi, którzy mu towarzyszyli – a Saul siedział właśnie w Ramath, na pagórku, pod tamaryszką, z włócznią w ręce, i wszyscy jego słudzy go otaczali –

W czasie gdy Saul usłyszał, że pojawił się Dawid oraz ludzie, którzy z nim byli, Saul przebywał w Gibea pod drzewem w Rama, z włócznią w ręku, a wszyscy jego słudzy stali przy nim.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
When Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men that [were] with him,.... That it was known where David was, and what number of men were gathered to him, and that they now openly appeared in the tribe of Judah; for some time Saul had heard nothing of him, but now a report had reached his ears that David was in arms, and at the head of a number of men; which now greatly alarmed Saul, and possessed him with fears and jealousies of his people, and all about him:
now Saul abode in Gibeah, under a tree in Ramah; this was Gibeah of Saul, and in or near which was a place called Ramah, or an high place, as the word signifies, on which was a remarkable tree, and under that Saul abode, being a proper shelter for him from any inclemency of the weather; for this was not Ramah where Samuel dwelt, though the Jews in the Talmud b so think, and metaphorically understand the tree in it of Samuel in Ramah praying for him, by means of which he continued two years in the height of his kingdom; but this was a tree in a literal sense. R. Jonah c says it is possible it might be the same which in Arabia is called Ethel, and is like to a tamarisk tree:
having his spear in his hand: ready to defend himself, and revenge his enemies; or rather which he held as a sceptre in his hand;
:-;
and all his servants [were] standing about him; in reverence of him, and honour to him, waiting upon him, and ready to obey his orders: these were his courtiers, or his guards, or both.
b T. Bab. Taanith, fol. 5. 2. c Apud Ben Melech in loc.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Under a tree in Ramah - Rather, “under the tamarisk-tree on the high place,” where he always held such meetings. It was a kind of parliament in the open air, and all his tribesmen gathered round him. (Compare Judges 4:5.)
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 22:6. Saul abode in Gibeah — Saul and his men were in pursuit of David, and had here, as is the general custom in the East, encamped on a height, for so Ramah should be translated, as in the margin. His spear, the ensign of power (see on 1 Samuel 18:11), was at hand, that is stuck in the ground where he rested, which was the mark to the soldiers that there was their general's tent.
And all his servants were standing about him — That is, they were encamped around him, or perhaps here there is a reference to a sort of council of war called by Saul for the purpose of delivering the speech recorded in the following verses.
