1 Samuel 22:15-17
New American Standard Bible 1995
15 Did I just begin (A)to inquire of God for him 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 [a]at all 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 [b]guards who were attending him, “Turn around and put the priests of the Lord to death, because their hand also is with David and because they knew that he was fleeing and did not [c]reveal it to me.” But the (D)servants of the king were not willing to put forth their hands to [d]attack the priests of the Lord.
