1 Samuel 22:15-17

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁵ Have I only today begun inquiring of God for him? No! Let not the king impute any wrong to his servant or to all the house of my father, for your servant has known nothing of all this, little or much.

¹⁶ [Saul] said, You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house.

¹⁷ And the king said to the guard that stood about him, Turn and slay the Lord’s priests, because their hand also is with David and because they knew that he fled and did not disclose it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hands against the Lord’s priests.
