What is the essence of Saul’s question?

1 Samuel 22:13 (ESV)

13 And Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread and a sword and have inquired of God for him, so that he has risen against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?”

Saul claimed that Ahimelech was in league with David and part of a conspiracy against him.1 He wanted to find out if this was true.
