Saul Murders the Priests

6 When Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been discovered—now Saul was staying in aGibeah under a tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants standing about him—  
7 then Saul said to his servants who stood about him, “Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse agive every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all captains of thousands and captains of hundreds?  
8 All of you have conspired against me, and there is no one who reveals to me that amy son has made a covenant with the son of Jesse; and there is not one of you who is sorry for me or reveals to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day.”  
9 Then answered aDoeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said, “I saw the son of Jesse going to Nob, to bAhimelech the son of cAhitub.  
10 aAnd he inquired of the Lord for him, bgave him provisions, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”  
11 So the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob. And they all came to the king.
12 And Saul said, “Hear now, son of Ahitub!” He answered, “Here I am, my lord.”
13 Then Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day?”
14 So Ahimelech answered the king and said, “And who among all your servants is as afaithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, who goes at your bidding, and is honorable in your house?  
15 Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? Far be it from me! Let not the king impute anything to his servant, or to any in the house of my father. For your servant knew nothing of all this, little or much.”
