1 Samuel 22:16-18
New American Standard Bible
16 But the king said, “You shall certainly die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s household!” 17 And (A)the king said to the [a]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 [b]inform me.” But the (B)servants of the king were unwilling to reach out with their hands to [c]attack the priests of the Lord. 18 Then the king said to Doeg, “You, turn around and [d]attack the priests!” And Doeg the Edomite turned around and [e]attacked the priests, and (C)he killed on that day eighty-five men (D)who wore the linen ephod.
