1 Samuel 22:11-13

International Standard Version

Saul Orders the Execution of the Priests

¹¹ The king sent for Ahitub’s son Ahimelech the priest and for all his father’s family who were priests at Nob. All of them came to the king. ¹² Saul said, “Listen, son of Ahitub!”

And he said, “Here I am, your majesty.”

¹³ Then Saul^[a] asked him, “Why have you conspired against me—you and Jesse’s son—by giving him food and a sword, and by inquiring of God for him, so he can rise up against me to lie in wait, as he’s doing^[b] today?”
