Slaughter of the Priests

¹¹ The king sent messengers to summon the priest Ahimelech son of Ahitub, and his father’s whole family, who were priests in Nob. All of them came to the king. ¹² Then Saul said, ‘Listen, son of Ahitub! ’

‘I’m at your service,^(A) my lord,’ he said.

¹³ Saul asked him, ‘Why did you and Jesse’s son conspire against me? You gave him bread and a sword and enquired of God for him, so he could rise up against me and wait in ambush, as is the case today.’^(B)
