1 Samuel 22:14-16

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁴ And Ahimelech answered the king, and said, “Who is so faithful among all your servants as David (being also the king’s son-in-law) and goes at your commandment and is honorable in your House?

¹⁵ “Have I this day first begun to ask counsel of God for him? Far be it from me. Do not let the king impute anything to his servant or to all the House of my father. For your servant knew nothing of all this, neither less nor more.”

¹⁶ Then the king said, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s House!”
