1 Samuel 22:14-16

Modern English Version

¹⁴ Then Ahimelek answered the king and said, “And who is as faithful among all your servants as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, chief of your bodyguard, and is honored in your house? ¹⁵ Did I just today begin to inquire of God for him? Far be it from me! Let not the king assign any blame to his servant, or to all the house of my father. For your servant has known nothing of all this matter, whether small or great.”

¹⁶ The king said, “You will surely die, Ahimelek, you and all your father’s house.”
