1 Samuel 22:16-18
Legacy Standard Bible
16 But the king said, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s household!” 17 And (A)the king said to the [a]guards who were standing by him, “Turn around and put the priests of Yahweh to death because their hand also is with David and because they knew that he was fleeing and did not reveal it in my ears.” But the (B)servants of the king were not willing to send forth their hands to fall upon the priests of Yahweh. 18 Then the king said to Doeg, “You turn around and [b]attack the priests.” And Doeg the Edomite turned around and [c]attacked the priests, and (C)he put to death that day eighty-five men (D)who wore the linen ephod.
