But, one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, whose name was Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.

Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of Yahweh.

Then David said to Abiathar, "I knew on that day that Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would certainly tell Saul. {I am responsible for the deaths of all your father's household}!

{Now when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled} to David [at] Keilah, he went down [with] an ephod in his hand.

When David learned that Saul [was] plotting evil against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, "Bring the ephod here."

Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, "Please bring the ephod here for me." So Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
