1 Samuel 22:12-19
12SaulH7586 saidH559, “ListenH8085 nowH4994, sonH1121 of AhitubH285.” And he 1repliedH559, “HereH2009 I am, my lordH113.” 13SaulH7586 then saidH559 to him, “WhyH4100 have you and the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 conspiredH7194 againstH5921 me, in that you have givenH5414 him breadH3899 and a swordH2719, and have inquiredH7592 of GodH430 for him, so that he would riseH6965 upH6965 againstH413 me 2by lyingH693 inH693 ambushH693 as it is thisH2088 dayH3117?”
143Then AhimelechH288 answeredH6030 the kingH4428 and saidH559, “And whoH4310 among allH3605 your servantsH5650 is as faithfulH539 as DavidH1732, the king’sH4428 own son-in-lawH2860, who 4is commander overH413 your bodyguardH4928, and is honoredH3513 in your houseH1004? 15Did I just beginH2490 5to inquireH7592 of GodH430 for him todayH3117? FarH2486 be it from me! 6Do not let the kingH4428 imputeH7760 anythingH1697 against his servantH5650 or against anyH3605 of the householdH1004 of my fatherH1, becauseH3588 your servantH5650 knowsH3045 nothingH3808 7at allH6996H1419 of thisH2088 wholeH3605 affairH1697.” 16But the kingH4428 saidH559, “You shall certainlyH4191 dieH4191, AhimelechH288, you and allH3605 your father’sH1 householdH1004!” 17And 8the kingH4428 saidH559 to the 9guardsH7323 who were attendingH5324H5921 him, “TurnH5437 aroundH5437 and putH4191 the priestsH3548 of the LordH3068 toH4191 deathH4191, becauseH3588 their handH3027 alsoH1571 is with DavidH1732 and becauseH3588 they knewH3045 that he was fleeingH1272 and did not 10informH1540H241 me.” But the 11servantsH5650 of the kingH4428 were unwillingH3808H14 to reachH7971 outH7971 with their handsH3027 to 12attackH6293 the priestsH3548 of the LordH3068. 18Then the kingH4428 saidH559 to DoegH1673, “You, turnH5437 aroundH5437 and 13attackH6293 the priestsH3548!” And DoegH1673 the EdomiteH130 turnedH5437 aroundH5437 and 14attackedH6293 the priestsH3548, and 15he killedH4191 on that dayH3117 eighty-fiveH8084 menH376 16who woreH5375 the linenH906 ephodH646. 1917He also struckH5221 NobH5011 the cityH5892 of the priestsH3548 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, bothH4480 menH376 and womenH802, childrenH5768 and infantsH3243; he also struck oxenH7794, donkeysH2543, and sheepH7716 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.
