This verse is Ahimelech, the priest, defending his actions to King Saul. Saul is angry because he believes Ahimelech conspired with David against him. Ahimelech, however, is innocent and bewildered by Saul's accusation.

Here's a breakdown of the verse's meaning:

"Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, “Who among all your servants is so faithful as David...?" Ahimelech begins by highlighting David's loyalty and good standing within Saul's court. He emphasizes that David has always been seen as trustworthy.

"...who is the king’s son-in-law..." Ahimelech points out the family connection between David and Saul. This underscores David's seemingly close relationship to the king and suggests that it would be illogical for David to plot against his own father-in-law.

"...and is taken into your council..." This emphasizes that David is not just a family member but also a trusted advisor. He is privy to Saul's plans and strategies, suggesting that Saul trusts him implicitly.

"...and is honorable in your house?" This means David is well-respected and highly esteemed within Saul's household. He is not a man acting in secret or with ill intent; he is regarded with honor and deference by everyone.

In essence, Ahimelech is arguing that:

He had no reason to suspect David of disloyalty.
David's position and reputation in Saul's court were beyond reproach.
It would be utterly surprising and unthinkable for David to betray Saul, given their relationship and David's standing.
Therefore, Ahimelech acted in good faith, believing he was helping a loyal servant of the king.

This verse reveals Ahimelech's naivety and tragic misjudgment of the situation. He is unaware of the growing tension between Saul and David and mistakenly assumes that David is still the faithful servant and trusted son-in-law he appears to be. Sadly, his defense is ultimately unsuccessful, and Saul orders the death of Ahimelech and his fellow priests.
