1 Samuel 22:15-17

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁵ Did I just begin ^(A)to ask of God on his behalf today? Far be it from me! ^(B)Do not let the king impute anything to his servant or to any of the household of my father, for your servant knows nothing small or great of this whole affair.” ¹⁶ But the king said, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s household!” ¹⁷ And ^(C)the king said to the ^[a]guards who were standing by him, “Turn around and put the priests of Yahweh to death because their hand also is with David and because they knew that he was fleeing and did not reveal it in my ears.” But the ^(D)servants of the king were not willing to send forth their hands to fall upon the priests of Yahweh.
