1 Samuel 22:14-16

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁴ Then Ahimelech answered the king, ‘Who among all your servants is so faithful as David? He is the king’s son-in-law, and is quick^[a] to do your bidding, and is honoured in your house. ¹⁵ Is today the first time that I have inquired of God for him? By no means! Do not let the king impute anything to his servant or to any member of my father’s house; for your servant has known nothing of all this, much or little.’ ¹⁶ The king said, ‘You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house.’
