1 Samuel 22:16-18

Revised Geneva Translation

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

¹⁷ And the king said to the sergeants who stood around him, “Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because their hand is also with David and because they knew when he fled and did not tell me!” But the servants of the king would not move their hands to fall upon the priests of the LORD.

¹⁸ Then the king said to Doeg, “Turn yourselves and fall upon the priests!” And Doeg the Edomite turned and ran upon the priests and that same day killed eighty-five people who wore a linen ephod.
