1 Samuel 22:16-18
New English Translation

16 But the king said, “You will surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house!” 17 Then the king said to the messengers[a] who were stationed beside him, “Turn and kill the priests of the Lord, for they too have sided[b] with David. They knew he was fleeing, but they did not inform me.” But the king’s servants refused to harm[c] the priests of the Lord.

18 Then the king said to Doeg, “You turn and strike down the priests!” So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck down the priests. He killed on that day eighty-five[d] men who wore the linen ephod.
