1 Samuel 22:13

22:13 Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and this son of Jesse? You gave ¹  him bread and a sword and inquired of God on his behalf, so that he opposes ²  me and waits in ambush, as is the case today!”

1 Samuel 22:17-19

22:17 Then the king said to the messengers ³  who were stationed beside him, “Turn and kill the priests of the Lord, for they too have sided ⁴  with David! They knew he was fleeing, but they did not inform me.” But the king’s servants refused to harm ⁵  the priests of the Lord.

22:18 Then the king said to Doeg, “You turn and strike down the priests!” So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck down the priests. He killed on that day eighty-five ⁶  men who wore the linen ephod. 22:19 As for Nob, the city of the priests, he struck down with the sword men and women, children and infants, oxen, donkeys, and sheep – all with the sword.
