19 He also killed the people of Nob, the city of the priests. Using ⌊his⌋ sword, he killed men and women, children and infants, cows, donkeys, and sheep.
20 But Ahimelech, Ahitub’s son, had one son who escaped. His name was Abiathar. He fled to David.
21 Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the Lord’s priests.
22 David told Abiathar, “I knew that day when Doeg from Edom was there that he would be certain to tell Saul. I am the one responsible for all the lives of your family.
23 Stay with me. Don’t be afraid. The one who is seeking my life is ⌊also⌋ seeking your life. However, you will be under my protection.”
