Saul Kills The Priests At Nob

For your servant is not aware of all this -- not in whole or in part!" 16 But the king said, "You will surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father's house! 17 Then the king said to the messengers who were stationed beside him, "Turn and kill the priests of the Lord, for they too have sided with David! They knew he was fleeing, but they did not inform me." But the king's servants refused to harm the priests of the Lord.
