09:022:008 That all of you have conspired against me, and there is none
           that sheweth me that my son hath made a league with the son of
           Jesse, and there is none of you that is sorry for me, or
           sheweth unto me that my son hath stirred up my servant against
           me, to lie in wait, as at this day?

09:022:009 Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the
           servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to
           Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

09:022:010 And he enquired of the lord for him, and gave him victuals,
           and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.

09:022:011 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of
           Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests that were in
           Nob:  and they came all of them to the king.

09:022:012 And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub.  And he answered,
           Here I am, my lord.

09:022:013 And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou
           and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a
           sword, and hast enquired of God for him, that he should rise
           against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?

09:022:014 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who is so
           faithful among all thy servants as David, which is the king’s
           son in law, and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in
           thine house?

09:022:015 Did I then begin to enquire of God for him? be it far from me: 
           let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all
           the house of my father:  for thy servant knew nothing of all
           this, less or more.

09:022:016 And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and
           all thy father’s house.

09:022:017 And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn,
           and slay the priests of the lord:  because their hand also is
           with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not
           shew it to me.  But the servants of the king would not put
           forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the lord.

09:022:018 And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the
           priests.  And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the
           priests, and slew on that day fourscore and five persons that
           did wear a linen ephod.

09:022:019 And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of
           the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and
           oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.

09:022:020 And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named
           Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David.
