1 Samuel 22:14-16

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ Ahimelech answered, “David is very loyal to you. You have no other servant who is as loyal as David. He is your own son-in-law and captain of your bodyguards. All the people in your house respect him. ¹⁵ That was not the first time I prayed to God for David. Not at all! Don’t blame me or any of my relatives. We are your servants. I know nothing about what is going on.”

¹⁶ But the king said, “Ahimelech, you and all your relatives must die!”
