1 Samuel 22:9-22

9Then answered DoegH1673 the EdomiteH130, who stoodH5324 by the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586, and saidH559, I sawH7200 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 comingH935 to NobH5011, to AhimelechH288 the sonH1121 of AhitubH285. 10And he inquired of Jehovah for him, and gaveH5414 him victuals, and gaveH5414 him the swordH2719 of GoliathH1555 the PhilistineH6430.

11Then the kingH4428 sentH7971 to callH7121 AhimelechH288 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of AhitubH285, and all his father’sH1 houseH1004, the priestsH3548 that were in NobH5011: and they cameH935 all of them to the kingH4428. 12And SaulH7586 saidH559, HearH8085 now, thou sonH1121 of AhitubH285. And he answered, HereH2005 I am, my lordH113. 13And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto him, WhyH4100 have ye conspired against me, thou and the sonH1121 of JesseH3448, in that thou hast givenH5414 him breadH3899, and a swordH2719, and hast inquired of GodH430 for him, that he should riseH6965 against me, to lieH693 in waitH693, as at this dayH3117? 14Then AhimelechH288 answered the kingH4428, and saidH559, And who among all thy servantsH5650 is so faithfulH539 as DavidH1732, who is the king’sH4428 son-in-law, and is taken into thy council, and is honorable in thy houseH1004? 15Have I to-day begunH2490 to inquire of GodH430 for him? be it farH2486 from me: let not the kingH4428 impute anything unto his servantH5650, nor to all the houseH1004 of my fatherH1; for thy servantH5650 knoweth nothing of all this, less or more. 16And the kingH4428 saidH559, Thou shalt surely dieH4191, AhimelechH288, thou, and all thy father’sH1 houseH1004. 17And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto the guard that stoodH5324 about him, TurnH5437, and slay the priestsH3548 of Jehovah; because their handH3027 alsoH1571 is with DavidH1732, and because they knewH3045 that he fledH1272, and did not disclose it to me. But the servantsH5650 of the kingH4428 wouldH14 not putH4191 forthH7971 their handH3027 to fallH6293 upon the priestsH3548 of Jehovah. 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.
