1 Samuel 22:17-20
22:17 Then the king said to the messengers
who were stationed beside him, “Turn and kill the priests of the
Lord, for they too have sided
with David! They knew he was fleeing, but they did not inform me.” But the king’s servants refused to harm
the priests of the
Lord.
22:18 Then the king said to Doeg, “You turn and strike down the priests!” So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck down the priests. He killed on that day eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod.
22:19 As for Nob, the city of the priests, he struck down with the sword men and women, children and infants, oxen, donkeys, and sheep – all with the sword.
22:20 But one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub escaped and fled to David. His name was Abiathar.
