*
And Saul heard that David was discovered ,
and the men who were with him .
Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah ,
under the tamarisk tree in Ramah with his spear in his hand ,
and all his servants were standing about him .
*
And Saul said to his servants who stood about him ,
Hear now ,
ye Benjamites .
Will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards .
Will he make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds ,
*
that all of you have conspired against me ,
and there is none who discloses to me when my son makes a league with the son of Jesse .
And there is none of you who is sorry for me ,
or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my serva
*
Then answered Doeg the Edomite ,
who stood by the servants of Saul ,
and said ,
I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob ,
to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub .
*
And he inquired of LORD for him ,
and gave him food ,
and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine .
*
Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest ,
the son of Ahitub ,
and all his father '
s house ,
the priests who were in Nob .
And they came to the king ,
all of them .
*
And Saul said ,
Hear now ,
thou son of Ahitub .
And he answered ,
Here I am ,
my lord .
*
And Saul said to him ,
Why have ye conspired against me ,
thou and the son of Jesse ,
in that thou have given him bread ,
and a sword ,
and have inquired of God for him ,
that he should rise against me to lay in wait as at this day ?
*
Then Ahimelech answered the king ,
and said ,
And who among all thy servants is so faithful as David ,
who is the king '
s son-in-law ,
and is taken into thy council ,
and is honorable in thy house ?
*
Have I today begun to inquire of God for him ?
Be it far from me .
Let not the king impute anything to his servant ,
nor to all the house of my father ,
for thy servant knows nothing of all this ,
less or more .
*
And the king said ,
Thou shall surely die ,
Ahimelech ,
thou ,
and all thy father '
s house .
*
And the king said to the guard who stood about him ,
Turn ,
and kill the priests of LORD ,
because their hand also is with David ,
and because they knew that he fled ,
and did not disclose it to me .
But the servants of the king would no
*
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 he killed on that day eighty-five persons who wore a linen ephod .
*
And Nob ,
the city of the priests ,
he smote with the edge of the sword ,
both men and women ,
sons and sucklings ,
and oxen and donkeys and sheep ,
with the edge of the sword .
*
And one of the sons of Ahimelech ,
the son of Ahitub ,
named Abiathar ,
escaped ,
and fled after David .
*
And Abiathar told David that Saul had slain LORD '
s priests .
*
And David said to Abiathar ,
I knew on that day ,
when Doeg the Edomite was there ,
that he would surely tell Saul .
I have occasioned [
the death ]
of all the persons of thy father '
s house .
*
Abide thou with me .
Fear not ,
for he who seeks my life seeks thy life ,
for with me thou shall be in safeguard .
