1 Samuel 22:17-20
17Then the kingH4428 orderedH559 the guardsH7323 at his sideH5324H5921, “TurnH5437 and killH4191 the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068, becauseH3588 they tooH1571 sided withH3027H5973 DavidH1732. ForH3588 they knewH3045H3588 heH1931 was fleeingH1272, but they did notH3808 tellH1540 meH241.”
But the king’sH4428 servantsH5650 wouldH14 notH3808 liftH7971 a handH3027 to strikeH6293 the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068.
18So the kingH4428 orderedH559 DoegH1673, “YouH859 turnH5437 and strike downH6293 the priestsH3548!”
And DoegH1673 the EdomiteH130 turnedH5437 and struck downH6293 the priestsH3548 himselfH1931. On thatH1931 dayH3117 he killedH4191 eighty-fiveH8084H2568 menH376 who woreH5375 the linenH906 ephodH646. 19He also putH5221 to the swordH6310H2719 NobH5011, the cityH5892 of the priestsH3548, with its menH376 andH5704 womenH802, childrenH5768 andH5704 infantsH3243, oxenH7794, donkeysH2543, and sheepH7716H6310H2719.
20But oneH259 of the sonsH1121 of AhimelechH288 sonH1121 of AhitubH285 escapedH4422. His nameH8034 was AbiatharH54, and he fledH1272 toH310 DavidH1732.
