1 Samuel 22:15-17

21st Century King James Version

¹⁵ Did I then begin to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me. Let not the king impute anything unto his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for thy servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.”

¹⁶ And the king said, “Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou and all thy father’s house.”

¹⁷ And the king said unto the footmen who stood about him, “Turn and slay the priests of the Lord, because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled and did not show it to me.” But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the Lord.
