By the time David composed Psalm 142, he may have learned what had befallen High Priest Ahimelech, who had unwittingly given him assistance when he was fleeing from Saul.
Rakstīdams 142. psalmu, Dāvids varbūt jau zināja, kas ir noticis ar augsto priesteri Ahimelehu, kurš bija palīdzējis Dāvidam, nezinot, ka tas bēg no Saula.
