11 H4428 Then the king H7971 sent [H8799] H7121 to call [H8800] H288 Ahimelech H3548 the priest H1121 , the son H285 of Ahitub H1 , and all his father's H1004 house H3548 , the priests H5011 that were in Nob H935 : and they came [H8799] H4428 all of them to the king.

12 H7586 And Saul H559 said [H8799] H8085 , Hear [H8798] H1121 now, thou son H285 of Ahitub H559 . And he answered [H8799] H113 , Here I am, my lord.

13 H7586 And Saul H559 said [H8799] H7194 unto him, Why have ye conspired [H8804] H1121 against me, thou and the son H3448 of Jesse H5414 , in that thou hast given [H8800] H3899 him bread H2719 , and a sword H7592 , and hast enquired [H8800] H430 of God H6965 for him, that he should rise [H8800] H693 against me, to lie in wait [H8802] H3117 , as at this day?

14 H288 Then Ahimelech H6030 answered [H8799] H4428 the king H559 , and said [H8799] H539 , And who is so faithful [H8737] H5650 among all thy servants H1732 as David H4428 , which is the king's H2860 son in law H5493 , and goeth [H8804] H4928 at thy bidding H3513 , and is honourable [H8737] H1004 in thine house?

15 H3117 Did I then H2490 begin [H8689] H7592 to enquire [H8800] H430 of God H2486 for him? be it far from me H4428 : let not the king H7760 impute [H8799] H1697 any thing H5650 unto his servant H1004 , nor to all the house H1 of my father H5650 : for thy servant H3045 knew [H8804] H1697 nothing H6996 of all this, less H1419 or more.

16 H4428 And the king H559 said [H8799] H4191 , Thou shalt surely [H8800] H4191 die [H8799] H288 , Ahimelech H1 , thou, and all thy father's H1004 house.

17 H4428 And the king H559 said [H8799] H7323 unto the footmen [H8801] H5324 that stood [H8737] H5437 about him, Turn [H8798] H4191 , and slay [H8685] H3548 the priests H3068 of the LORD H3027 ; because their hand H1732 also is with David H3045 , and because they knew [H8804] H1272 when he fled [H8802] H1540 , and did not shew [H8804] H241 H5650 it to me. But the servants H4428 of the king H14 would [H8804] H7971 not put forth [H8800] H3027 their hand H6293 to fall [H8800] H3548 upon the priests H3068 of the LORD.

18 H4428 And the king H559 said [H8799] H1673 to Doeg H5437 , Turn [H8798] H6293 thou, and fall [H8798] H3548 upon the priests H1673 . And Doeg H130 the Edomite H5437 turned [H8735] H6293 , and he fell [H8799] H3548 upon the priests H4191 , and slew [H8686] H3117 on that day H8084 fourscore H2568 and five H376 persons H5375 that did wear [H8802] H906 a linen H646 ephod.

19 H5011 And Nob H5892 , the city H3548 of the priests H5221 , smote [H8689] H6310 he with the edge H2719 of the sword H376 , both men H802 and women H5768 , children H3243 and sucklings [H8802] H7794 , and oxen H2543 , and asses H7716 , and sheep H6310 , with the edge H2719 of the sword.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests that were in Nob: and they came all of them to the king. ¹² And Saul said, Hear now, thou son of Ahitub. And he answered, Here I am, my lord. ¹³ And Saul said unto him, Why have ye conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, and hast inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day? ¹⁴ Then Ahimelech answered the king, and said, And who among all thy servants is so faithful as David, which is the king’s son in law, and is taken into thy council, and is honourable in thine house? ¹⁵ Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? be it far from me: let not the king impute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father: for thy servant knoweth nothing of all this, less or more. ¹⁶ And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father’s house. ¹⁷ And the king said unto the guard that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and did not disclose it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD. ¹⁸ And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell upon the priests, and he slew on that day fourscore and five persons that did wear a linen ephod. ¹⁹ And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen and asses and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
