1 Samuel 22
19 He also put to the sword Nob, the city of the priests, with its men and women, children and infants, oxen, donkeys, and sheep.
20 But one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub escaped. His name was Abiathar, and he fled to David.
21 And Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the LORD.
22 Then David said to Abiathar, “I knew that Doeg the Edomite was there that day, and that he was sure to tell Saul. I myself am responsible for the lives of everyone in your father’s house.
23 Stay with me; do not be afraid, for he who seeks your life is seeking mine as well. You will be safe with me.”
