1 Samuel 22:12-19

12Saul said, “Listen now, son of Ahitub.” And he 1answered, “Here I am, my lord.” 13Saul then said to him, “Why have you and the son of Jesse conspired against me, in that you have given him bread and a sword and have inquired of God for him, so that he would rise up against me 2by lying in ambush as it is this day?”

143Then Ahimelech answered the king and said, “And who among all your servants is as faithful as David, even the king’s son-in-law, who 4is captain over your guard, and is honored in your house? 15Did I just begin 5to inquire of God for him today? Far be it from me! 6Do not let the king impute anything to his servant or to any of the household of my father, for your servant knows nothing 7at all of this whole affair.” 16But the king said, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s household!” 17And 8the king said to the 9guards who were attending him, “Turn around and put the priests of the Lord to death, because their hand also is with David and because they knew that he was fleeing and did not 10reveal it to me.” But the 11servants of the king were not willing to put forth their hands to 12attack the priests of the Lord. 18Then the king said to Doeg, “You turn around and 13attack the priests.” And Doeg the Edomite turned around and 14attacked the priests, and 15he killed that day eighty-five men 16who wore the linen ephod. 19And 17he struck Nob the city of the priests with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and infants; also oxen, donkeys, and sheep he struck with the edge of the sword.
