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.
