1 Samuel 22:17-19

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷ Then the king ordered the guards standing by him, “Turn and kill the priests of the Lord^(A) because they sided with David. For they knew he was fleeing, but they didn’t tell me.” But the king’s servants would not lift a hand to execute the priests of the Lord.

¹⁸ So the king said to Doeg, “Go and execute the priests!” So Doeg the Edomite went and executed the priests himself. On that day, he killed eighty-five men^(B) who wore linen ephods.^{(C) 19} He also struck down Nob, the city of the priests, with the sword—both men and women, infants and nursing babies, oxen, donkeys, and sheep.^(D)
