But one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub escaped and fled to David. His name was Abiathar.

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

Then David said to Abiathar, "I knew that day when Doeg the Edomite was there that he would certainly tell Saul! I am guilty of all the deaths in your father's house!

Now when Abiathar son of Ahimelech had fled to David at Keilah, he had brought with him an ephod.

When David realized that Saul was planning to harm him, he told Abiathar the priest, "Bring the ephod!"

Then David said to the priest Abiathar son of Ahimelech, "Bring me the ephod." So Abiathar brought the ephod to David.
