Exegesis
The Qal imperfect vayyivrach {וַיִּבְרַ֖ח | way·yi·brâḥ} ‘and he fled’ followed by the prepositional phrase acharei david {אַחֲרֵ֥י דָוִד | ʾă·ḥa·rê dā·wiḏ} ‘after David’ indicates allegiance. English rendering shifts from Hebrew verb-subject order to subject-verb for clarity while preserving the sequence of events.
In context — 1 Samuel 22:20
But one son of Ahimelech , son of Ahitub, escaped; his name was Abiathar, and he fled after David .
