1 Samuel 22:15-17

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁵ To-day have I begun to ask for him at God? far be it from me! let not the king lay anything against his servant, against any of the house of my father, for thy servant hath known nothing of all this, less or more.'

¹⁶ And the king saith, `Thou dost surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all the house of thy father.'

¹⁷ And the king saith to runners, those standing by him, `Turn round, and put to death the priests of Jehovah, because their hand also [is] with David, and because they have known that he is fleeing, and have not uncovered mine ear;' and the servants of the king have not been willing to put forth their hand to come against the priests of Jehovah.
