and because they knew that he fled, and didn't disclose it to me. But the servants of the king wouldn't put forth their hand to fall on the priests of Yahweh. 022:018 The king said to Doeg, Turn you, and fall on the priests. Doeg the Edomite turned, and he fell on the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five persons who wore a linen ephod. 022:019 Nob, the city of the priests, struck he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and nursing babies, and oxen and donkeys and sheep, with the edge of the sword. 022:020 One of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David. 022:021 Abiathar told David that Saul had slain Yahweh's priests. 022:022 David said to Abiathar, I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned [the death] of all the persons of your father's house. 022:023 Abide you with me, don't be afraid; for he who seeks my life seeks your life: for with me you shall be in safeguard. 023:001 They told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors. 023:002 Therefore David inquired of Yahweh, saying, Shall I go and strike these Philistines?

So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah. 023:006 It happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David to Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand. 023:007 It was told Saul that David was come to Keilah. Saul said, God has delivered him into my hand; for he is shut in, by entering into a town that has gates and bars. 023:008 Saul summoned all the people to war, to go down to Keilah, to besiege David and his men. 023:009 David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring here the ephod. 023:010 Then said David, O Yahweh, the God of Israel, your servant has surely heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake. 023:011 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as your servant has heard? Yahweh, the God of Israel, I beg you, tell your servant. Yahweh said, He will come down. 023:012 Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver up to me
