1 Samuel 22:11-16

Context

22:11 Then the king arranged for a meeting with the priest Ahimelech son of Ahitub and all the priests of his father’s house who were at Nob. They all came to the king. 22:12 Then Saul said, “Listen, son of Ahitub.” He replied, “Here I am, my lord.” 22:13 Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and this son of Jesse? You gave 1  him bread and a sword and inquired of God on his behalf, so that he opposes 2  me and waits in ambush, as is the case today!”

22:14 Ahimelech replied to the king, “Who among all your servants is faithful like David? He is the king’s son-in-law, the leader of your bodyguard, and honored in your house! 22:15 Was it just today that I began to inquire of God on his behalf? Far be it from me! The king should not accuse 3  his servant or any of my father’s house. For your servant is not aware of all this – not in whole or in part!” 4 

22:16 But the king said, “You will surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house!
