New Living Translation
1 Samuel 22:18-23
18Then the king said to Doeg, “You do it.” So Doeg the Edomite turned on them and killed them that day, eighty-five priests in all, still wearing their priestly garments.
19Then he went to Nob, the town of the priests, and killed the priests’ families—men and women, children and babies—and all the cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats.
20Only Abiathar, one of the sons of Ahimelech, escaped and fled to David.
21When he told David that Saul had killed the priests of the Lord,
22David exclaimed, “I knew it! When I saw Doeg the Edomite there that day, I knew he was sure to tell Saul. Now I have caused the death of all your father’s family.
23Stay here with me, and don’t be afraid. I will protect you with my own life, for the same person wants to kill us both.”
