The king sends to call Ahimelech, and Doeg the Edomite kills the priests

왕이 아히멜렉을 부르고 에돔 사람 도엑이 제사장들을 죽임

1 Samuel 22:11–19: then the king sends to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were in Nob; and they all come to the king. Saul says, “Hear now, you son of Ahitub.” He answers, “Here I am, my lord.” Saul says to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread, and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise against me, to lie in wait, as it is today?” Then Ahimelech answers the king, and says, “Who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, captain of your body guard, and honored in your house? Have I today begun to inquire of God for him? Be it far from me! Don’t let the king impute anything to his servant, nor to all the house of my father; for your servant knew nothing of all this, less or more.” The king says, “You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father’s house.” The king says to the guard who stood about him, “Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled and didn’t disclose it to me.” But the servants of the king won’t put out their hand to fall on the priests of the LORD. The king says to Doeg, “Turn and attack the priests!” Doeg the Edomite turns, and he attacks the priests, and he kills on that day eighty-five people who wore a linen ephod. He strikes Nob, the city of the priests, with the edge of the sword—both men and women, children and nursing babies, and cattle, donkeys, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
