1 Samuel 22:18-23

18And the kingH4428 saidH559 to DoegH1673, TurnH5437 thou, and fallH6293 upon the priestsH3548. And DoegH1673 the EdomiteH130 turnedH5437, and he fellH6293 upon the priestsH3548, and he slew on that dayH3117 fourscore and fiveH2568 personsH376 that did wear a linenH906 ephodH646. 19And NobH5011, the cityH5892 of the priestsH3548, smote he with the edge of the swordH2719, both menH376 and womenH802, childrenH5768 and sucklings, and oxen and asses and sheepH7716, with the edge of the swordH2719.

20And oneH259 of the sonsH1121 of AhimelechH288, the sonH1121 of AhitubH285, namedH8034 AbiatharH54, escapedH4422, and fledH1272 after DavidH1732. 21And AbiatharH54 toldH5046 DavidH1732 that SaulH7586 had slainH2026 Jehovah’s priestsH3548. 22And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto AbiatharH54, I knewH3045 on that dayH3117, when DoegH1673 the EdomiteH130 was there, that he would surely tellH5046 SaulH7586: I have occasioned the death of all the personsH5315 of thy father’sH1 houseH1004. 23Abide thou with me, fearH3372 not; for he that seeketh my lifeH5315 seeketh thy lifeH5315: for with me thou shalt be in safeguard.
