‏ 1 Samuel 22:20-23

Abiathar Flees to David

Yet the priesthood is preserved, for a son of Ahimelech escapes. He flees after David and tells him what happened (cf. Mt 14:10-12). When David hears it, he takes the blame. He offers Abiathar his protection and guarantees him safety. With his life, which Saul hunts, he guarantees him.

David writes at this occasion Psalm 52 (Psa 52:1a).
