1 Samuel 22:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁴ Ahimelech answered, “David is very faithful to you. Not one of your other officers is as faithful as David. He is your own son-in-law and the captain of your bodyguards. Your own family respects David. ¹⁵ That was not the first time I prayed to God for David. Not at all! Don’t blame me or any of my relatives. We are your servants. I know nothing about what is happening.”

¹⁶ But the king said, “Ahimelech, you and all your relatives must die.”
