Revised Version 1895
1 Samuel 22:11-19
11Then the kingH4428 sentH7971 to callH7121 AhimelechH288 the priestH3548, the sonH1121 of AhitubH285, and allH3605 his father’sH1 houseH1004, the priestsH3548 that were in NobH5011: and they cameH935 allH3605 of them to the kingH4428.
12And SaulH7586 saidH559, HearH8085 nowH4994, thou sonH1121 of AhitubH285. And he answeredH559, HereH2005 I am, my lordH113.
13And SaulH7586 saidH559 unto him, WhyH4100 have ye conspiredH7194 againstH5921 meH413, thou and the sonH1121 of JesseH3448, in that thou hast givenH5414 him breadH3899, and a swordH2719, and hast inquiredH7592 of GodH430 for him, that he should riseH6965 againstH5921 meH413, to lieH693 in waitH693, as at this dayH3117?
14Then AhimelechH288 answeredH559 the kingH4428, and saidH559, And who among allH3605 thy servantsH5650 is soH5493 faithfulH539 as DavidH1732, whichH4310 is the king’sH4428 son in law, and is takenH5493 intoH413 thy council, and is honourable in thine houseH1004?
15Have I todayH3117 begunH2490 to inquireH7592 of GodH430 for him? be it farH2486 from meH7760: letH408 notH3808 the kingH4428 imputeH7760 anyH3605 thingH1697 unto his servantH5650, norH3808 to allH3605 the houseH1004 of my fatherH1: for thy servantH5650 knoweth nothingH3808 of allH3605 this, lessH3588 or moreH3808.
16And the kingH4428 saidH559, Thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191, AhimelechH288, thou, and allH3605 thy father’sH1 houseH1004.
17And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto the guardH7323 that stoodH5324 aboutH5921 him, TurnH5437, and slayH4191 the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068; becauseH3588 their handH3027 also is with DavidH1732, and becauseH3588 they knewH3045 that he fledH1272, and didH3808 notH3808 disclose it to meH7971. But the servantsH5650 of the kingH4428 would notH3808 putH4191 forthH7971 their handH3027 to fallH6293 uponH5921 the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068.
18And the kingH4428 saidH559 to DoegH1673, TurnH5437 thou, and fallH6293 uponH6293 the priestsH3548. And DoegH1673 the EdomiteH130 turnedH5437, and he fellH6293 uponH6293 the priestsH3548, and he slew on that dayH3117 fourscore and fiveH2568 personsH376 that didH376 wear a linenH906 ephodH646.
19And NobH5011, the cityH5892 of the priestsH3548, smoteH5221 he with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, both menH376 and womenH802, childrenH5768 and sucklings, and oxenH7794 and asses and sheepH7716, with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.
