1 Samuel 22:14-16

New International Version - UK

¹⁴ Ahimelek answered the king, ‘Who of all your servants is as loyal as David, the king’s son-in-law, captain of your bodyguard and highly respected in your household? ¹⁵ Was that day the first time I enquired of God for him? Of course not! Let not the king accuse your servant or any of his father’s family, for your servant knows nothing at all about this whole affair.’

¹⁶ But the king said, ‘You shall surely die, Ahimelek, you and your whole family.’
