He gave him also the sword of Goliath. ¹¹ Upon this the king sent for Abimelech, son of Achitob, and all his father's sons, the priests at Nomba; and when they all came to the king, ¹² Saul said, Hear now thou son of Achitob! And he said, Here I am. Speak, my lord. ¹³ Then Saul said to him, Why hast thou conspired against me, thou and the son of Jessai, that thou shouldst give him bread, and a sword, and consult God for him to make him my enemy, as is now the case? ¹⁴ And Abimelech answered the king and said, Who among all thy servants was like David, in high trust, and the king's son in law, and thy prime minister, and highly honoured in thy house? ¹⁵ Have I now begun to consult God for him?

And when the servants of the king refused to lift their hands against the priests of the Lord, ¹⁸ the king said to Doek, Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. Thereupon Doek, the Syrian, turned and slew the priests of the Lord that day, three hundred and five men, all wearing an ephod. ¹⁹ Then he smote Nomba the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword, both men and women, infant and suckling, with the cattle, and the asses, and the sheep. ²⁰ But one son of Abimelech, son of Achitob, escaped. His name was Abiathar, and he fled to David. ²¹ And when Abiathar told David that Saul had slain all the priests of the Lord, ²² David said to Abiathar, I might have known that day; that Doek the Syrian; that he would tell Saul; I am answerable for the lives of thy father's household. ²³ Stay with me. Fear not. For wherever I provide a place for my own safety, I will provide also for thy safety; for thou hast been preserved to be with me.
