1 Samuel 22:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ And the king said: Dying thou shalt die, Achimelech, thou and all thy father's house.

¹⁷ And the king said to the messengers that stood about him: Turn, and kill the priests of the Lord, for their hand is with David, because they knew that he was fled, and they told it not to me. And the king's servants would not put forth their hands against the priests of the Lord.

¹⁸ And the king said to Doeg: Turn thou, and fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite turned, and fell upon the priests and slew in that day eighty-five men that wore the linen ephod.
