Holman Christian Standard Bible
14 Ahimelech replied to the king: “Who among all your servants is as faithful as David?(A) He is the king’s son-in-law, captain of your bodyguard, and honored in your house. 15 Was today the first time I inquired of God for him?(B) Of course not! Please don’t let the king make an accusation against your servant or any of my father’s household, for your servant didn’t have any idea[a] about all this.”
16 But the king said, “You will die, Ahimelech—you and your father’s whole family!”
