1 Samuel 22:18-23
18So the king said to Doeg, “Go and execute the priests!” So Doeg the Edomite went and executed the priests himself. On that day, he killed eighty-five men who wore linen ephods.
19He also struck down Nob, the city of the priests, with the sword — both men and women, infants and nursing babies, oxen, donkeys, and sheep.
20However, one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub escaped. His name was Abiathar, and he fled to David.
21Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the Lord.
22Then David said to Abiathar, “I knew that Doeg the Edomite was there that day and that he was sure to report to Saul. I myself am responsible for the lives of everyone in your father’s family.
23Stay with me. Don’t be afraid, for the one who wants to take my life wants to take your life. You will be safe with me.”
