1 Samuel 22:17 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 22:17

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.”

16 And the king said, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all ^ayour father’s house!”

17 Then the king said to the guards who stood about him, “Turn and kill the priests of the Lord, because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled and did not tell it to me.” But the servants of the king ^awould not lift their hands to strike the priests of the Lord.

18 And the king said to Doeg, “You turn and kill the priests!” So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck the priests, and ^akilled on that day eighty-five men who wore a linen ephod.

19 ^aAlso Nob, the city of the priests, he struck with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing infants, oxen and donkeys and sheep—with the edge of the sword.

20 ^aNow one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, ^bescaped and fled after David.

21 And Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the Lord’s priests.
