1  David¹⁷³² therefore departed¹⁹⁸⁰ thence,^{4480 8033} and escaped⁴⁴²² to⁴¹³ the cave⁴⁶³¹ Adullam:⁵⁷²⁵ and when his brethren²⁵¹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ his father's¹ house¹⁰⁰⁴ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ it, they went down³³⁸¹ thither⁸⁰³³ to⁴¹³ him.

2  And every³⁶⁰⁵ one³⁷⁶ that was in distress,⁴⁶⁸⁹ and every³⁶⁰⁵ one³⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ was in debt,⁵³⁷⁸ and every³⁶⁰⁵ one³⁷⁶ that was discontented,^{4751 5315} gathered themselves⁶⁹⁰⁸ unto⁴¹³ him; and he became¹⁹⁶¹ a captain⁸²⁶⁹ over⁵⁹²¹ them: and there were¹⁹⁶¹ with⁵⁹⁷³ him about four⁷⁰² hundred³⁹⁶⁷ men.³⁷⁶

3  And David¹⁷³² went¹⁹⁸⁰ thence^{4480 8033} to Mizpeh⁴⁷⁰⁸ of Moab:⁴¹²⁴ and he said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Moab,⁴¹²⁴ Let my father¹ and my mother,⁵¹⁷ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ come forth,³³¹⁸ and be with⁸⁵⁴ you, till^{5704 834} I know³⁰⁴⁵ what⁴¹⁰⁰ God⁴³⁰ will do⁶²¹³ for me.

4  And he brought⁵¹⁴⁸ them ⁸⁵³ before⁶⁴⁴⁰ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Moab:⁴¹²⁴ and they dwelt³⁴²⁷ with⁵⁹⁷³ him all³⁶⁰⁵ the while³¹¹⁷ that David¹⁷³² was¹⁹⁶¹ in the hold.⁴⁶⁸⁶

5  And the prophet⁵⁰³⁰ Gad¹⁴¹⁰ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ David,¹⁷³² Abide³⁴²⁷ not³⁸⁰⁸ in the hold;⁴⁶⁸⁶ depart,¹⁹⁸⁰ and get⁹³⁵ thee into the land⁷⁷⁶ of Judah.³⁰⁶³ Then David¹⁷³² departed,¹⁹⁸⁰ and came⁹³⁵ into the forest³²⁹³ of Hareth.²⁸⁰²

6  When Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ David¹⁷³² was discovered,³⁰⁴⁵ and the men³⁷⁶ that⁸³⁴ were with⁸⁵⁴ him, (now Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ abode³⁴²⁷ in Gibeah¹³⁹⁰ under⁸⁴⁷⁸ a tree⁸¹⁵ in Ramah,⁷⁴¹⁴ having his spear²⁵⁹⁵ in his hand,³⁰²⁷ and all³⁶⁰⁵ his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ were standing⁵³²⁴ about⁵⁹²¹ him;)

7  Then Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto his servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ that stood⁵³²⁴ about⁵⁹²¹ him, Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ now,⁴⁹⁹⁴ ye Benjamites;¹¹⁴⁵ will the son¹¹²¹ of Jesse³⁴⁴⁸ give⁵⁴¹⁴ every one³⁶⁰⁵ of you fields⁷⁷⁰⁴ and vineyards,³⁷⁵⁴ and make⁷⁷⁶⁰ you all³⁶⁰⁵ captains⁸²⁶⁹ of thousands,⁵⁰⁵ and captains⁸²⁶⁹ of hundreds;³⁹⁶⁷

8  That³⁵⁸⁸ all³⁶⁰⁵ of you have conspired⁷¹⁹⁴ against⁵⁹²¹ me, and there is none³⁶⁹ that showeth^{1540 853 241} me that my son¹¹²¹ hath made a league³⁷⁷² with⁵⁹⁷³ the son¹¹²¹ of Jesse,³⁴⁴⁸ and there is none³⁶⁹ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ you that is sorry²⁴⁷⁰ for⁵⁹²¹ me, or showeth unto^{1540 853 241} me that³⁵⁸⁸ my son¹¹²¹ hath stirred up^{6965 853} my servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ against⁵⁹²¹ me, to lie in wait,⁶⁹³ as at this²⁰⁸⁸ day?³¹¹⁷

9  Then answered⁶⁰³⁰ Doeg¹⁶⁷³ the Edomite,¹³⁰ which¹⁹³¹ was set⁵³²⁴ over⁵⁹²¹ the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of Saul,⁷⁵⁸⁶ and said,⁵⁵⁹ I saw^{7200 853} the son¹¹²¹ of Jesse³⁴⁴⁸ coming⁹³⁵ to Nob,⁵⁰¹¹ to⁴¹³ Ahimelech²⁸⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahitub.²⁸⁵

10  And he inquired⁷⁵⁹² of the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ for him, and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ him victuals,⁶⁷²⁰ and gave⁵⁴¹⁴ him the sword²⁷¹⁹ of Goliath¹⁵⁵⁵ the Philistine.⁶⁴³⁰

11  Then the king⁴⁴²⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ to call^{7121 853} Ahimelech²⁸⁸ the priest,³⁵⁴⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahitub,²⁸⁵ and all³⁶⁰⁵ his father's¹ house,¹⁰⁰⁴ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ that⁸³⁴ were in Nob:⁵⁰¹¹ and they came⁹³⁵ all³⁶⁰⁵ of them to⁴¹³ the king.⁴⁴²⁸

12  And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ said,⁵⁵⁹ Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ now,⁴⁹⁹⁴ thou son¹¹²¹ of Ahitub.²⁸⁵ And he answered,⁵⁵⁹ Here²⁰⁰⁹ I am, my lord.¹¹³

13  And Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ him, Why⁴¹⁰⁰ have ye conspired⁷¹⁹⁴ against⁵⁹²¹ me, thou⁸⁵⁹ and the son¹¹²¹ of Jesse,³⁴⁴⁸ in that thou hast given⁵⁴¹⁴ him bread,³⁸⁹⁹ and a sword,²⁷¹⁹ and hast inquired⁷⁵⁹² of God⁴³⁰ for him, that he should rise⁶⁹⁶⁵ against⁴¹³ me, to lie in wait,⁶⁹³ as at this²⁰⁸⁸ day?³¹¹⁷

14  Then Ahimelech²⁸⁸ answered^{6030 853} the king,⁴⁴²⁸ and said,⁵⁵⁹ And who⁴³¹⁰ is so faithful⁵³⁹ among all³⁶⁰⁵ thy servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ as David,¹⁷³² which is the king's⁴⁴²⁸ son-in-law,²⁸⁶⁰ and goeth⁵⁴⁹³ at⁴¹³ thy bidding,⁴⁹²⁸ and is honorable³⁵¹³ in thine house?¹⁰⁰⁴

15  Did I then³¹¹⁷ begin²⁴⁹⁰ to inquire⁷⁵⁹² of God⁴³⁰ for him? be it far²⁴⁸⁶ from me: let not⁴⁰⁸ the king⁴⁴²⁸ impute⁷⁷⁶⁰ any thing¹⁶⁹⁷ unto his servant,⁵⁶⁵⁰ nor to all³⁶⁰⁵ the house¹⁰⁰⁴ of my father:¹ for³⁵⁸⁸ thy servant⁵⁶⁵⁰ knew³⁰⁴⁵ nothing³⁸⁰⁸ of all³⁶⁰⁵ this,²⁰⁶³ less⁶⁹⁹⁶ or¹⁷⁶ more.¹⁴¹⁹

16  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said,⁵⁵⁹ Thou shalt surely die,^{4191 4191} Ahimelech,²⁸⁸ thou,⁸⁵⁹ and all³⁶⁰⁵ thy father's¹ house.¹⁰⁰⁴

17  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ unto the footmen⁷³²³ that stood⁵³²⁴ about⁵⁹²¹ him, Turn,⁵⁴³⁷ and slay⁴¹⁹¹ the priests³⁵⁴⁸ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ because³⁵⁸⁸ their hand³⁰²⁷ also¹⁵⁷¹ is with⁵⁹⁷³ David,¹⁷³² and because³⁵⁸⁸ they knew³⁰⁴⁵ when³⁵⁸⁸ he¹⁹³¹ fled,¹²⁷² and did not³⁸⁰⁸ show^{1540 853} it to me.²⁴¹ But the servants⁵⁶⁵⁰ of the king⁴⁴²⁸ would¹⁴ not³⁸⁰⁸ put forth^{7971 853} their hand³⁰²⁷ to fall⁶²⁹³ upon the priests³⁵⁴⁸ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

18  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ said⁵⁵⁹ to Doeg,¹⁶⁷³ Turn⁵⁴³⁷ thou,⁸⁵⁹ and fall⁶²⁹³ upon the priests.³⁵⁴⁸ And Doeg¹⁶⁷³ the Edomite¹³⁰ turned,⁵⁴³⁷ and he¹⁹³¹ fell⁶²⁹³ upon the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ and slew⁴¹⁹¹ on that¹⁹³¹ day³¹¹⁷ fourscore⁸⁰⁸⁴ and five²⁵⁶⁸ persons³⁷⁶ that did wear⁵³⁷⁵ a linen⁹⁰⁶ ephod.⁶⁴⁶

19  And Nob,⁵⁰¹¹ the city⁵⁸⁹² of the priests,³⁵⁴⁸ smote⁵²²¹ he with the edge⁶³¹⁰ of the sword,²⁷¹⁹ both men^{4480 376} and women,⁸⁰² children^{4480 5768} and sucklings,³²⁴³ and oxen,⁷⁷⁹⁴ and asses,²⁵⁴³ and sheep,⁷⁷¹⁶ with the edge⁶³¹⁰ of the sword.²⁷¹⁹

20  And one²⁵⁹ of the sons¹¹²¹ of Ahimelech²⁸⁸ the son¹¹²¹ of Ahitub,²⁸⁵ named⁸⁰³⁴ Abiathar,⁵⁴ escaped,⁴⁴²² and fled¹²⁷² after³¹⁰ David.¹⁷³²

21  And Abiathar⁵⁴ showed⁵⁰⁴⁶ David¹⁷³² that³⁵⁸⁸ Saul⁷⁵⁸⁶ had slain^{2026 853} the LORD's³⁰⁶⁸ priests.³⁵⁴⁸

22  And David¹⁷³² said⁵⁵⁹ unto Abiathar,⁵⁴ I knew³⁰⁴⁵ it that¹⁹³¹ day,³¹¹⁷ when³⁵⁸⁸ Doeg¹⁶⁷³ the Edomite¹³⁰ was there,⁸⁰³³ that³⁵⁸⁸ he would surely tell^{5046 5046} Saul:⁷⁵⁸⁶ I⁵⁹⁵ have occasioned⁵⁴³⁷ the death of all³⁶⁰⁵ the persons⁵³¹⁵ of thy father's¹ house.¹⁰⁰⁴

23  Abide³⁴²⁷ thou with⁸⁵⁴ me, fear³³⁷² not:⁴⁰⁸ for³⁵⁸⁸ he that⁸³⁴ seeketh^{1245 853} my life⁵³¹⁵ seeketh^{1245 853} thy life:⁵³¹⁵ but³⁵⁸⁸ with⁵⁹⁷³ me thou⁸⁵⁹ shalt be in safeguard.⁴⁹³¹

1 καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν Δαυιδ καὶ διεσώθη καὶ ἔρχεται εἰς τὸ σπήλαιον τὸ Οδολλαμ καὶ ἀκούουσιν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ καταβαίνουσιν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ

2 καὶ συνήγοντο πρὸς αὐτὸν πᾶς ἐν ἀνάγκῃ καὶ πᾶς ὑπόχρεως καὶ πᾶς κατώδυνος ψυχῇ καὶ ἦν ἐπ᾽ αὐτῶν ἡγούμενος καὶ ἦσαν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ ὡς τετρακόσιοι ἄνδρες

3 καὶ ἀπῆλθεν Δαυιδ ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Μασσηφα τῆς Μωαβ καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς βασιλέα Μωαβ γινέσθωσαν δὴ ὁ πατήρ μου καὶ ἡ μήτηρ μου παρὰ σοί ἕως ὅτου γνῶ τί ποιήσει μοι ὁ θεός

4 καὶ παρεκάλεσεν τὸ πρόσωπον τοῦ βασιλέως Μωαβ καὶ κατῴκουν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας ὄντος τοῦ Δαυιδ ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ

5 καὶ εἶπεν Γαδ ὁ προφήτης πρὸς Δαυιδ μὴ κάθου ἐν τῇ περιοχῇ πορεύου καὶ ἥξεις εἰς γῆν Ιουδα καὶ ἐπορεύθη Δαυιδ καὶ ἦλθεν καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐν πόλει Σαριχ

6 καὶ ἤκουσεν Σαουλ ὅτι ἔγνωσται Δαυιδ καὶ οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ Σαουλ ἐκάθητο ἐν τῷ βουνῷ ὑπὸ τὴν ἄρουραν τὴν ἐν Ραμα καὶ τὸ δόρυ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντες οἱ παῖδες αὐτοῦ παρειστήκεισαν αὐτῷ

7 καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ τοὺς παρεστηκότας αὐτῷ καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ἀκούσατε δή υἱοὶ Βενιαμιν εἰ ἀληθῶς πᾶσιν ὑμῖν δώσει ὁ υἱὸς Ιεσσαι ἀγροὺς καὶ ἀμπελῶνας καὶ πάντας ὑμᾶς τάξει ἑκατοντάρχους καὶ χιλιάρχους

8 ὅτι σύγκεισθε πάντες ὑμεῖς ἐπ᾽ ἐμέ καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ ἀποκαλύπτων τὸ ὠτίον μου ἐν τῷ διαθέσθαι τὸν υἱόν μου διαθήκην μετὰ τοῦ υἱοῦ Ιεσσαι καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν πονῶν περὶ ἐμοῦ ἐξ ὑμῶν καὶ ἀποκαλύπτων τὸ ὠτίον μου ὅτι ἐπήγειρεν ὁ υἱός μου τὸν δοῦλόν μου ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ εἰς ἐχθρὸν ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη

9 καὶ ἀποκρίνεται Δωηκ ὁ Σύρος ὁ καθεστηκὼς ἐπὶ τὰς ἡμιόνους Σαουλ καὶ εἶπεν ἑόρακα τὸν υἱὸν Ιεσσαι παραγινόμενον εἰς Νομβα πρὸς Αβιμελεχ υἱὸν Αχιτωβ τὸν ἱερέα

10 καὶ ἠρώτα αὐτῷ διὰ τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἐπισιτισμὸν ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ καὶ τὴν ῥομφαίαν Γολιαδ τοῦ ἀλλοφύλου ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ

11 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς καλέσαι τὸν Αβιμελεχ υἱὸν Αχιτωβ καὶ πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ τοὺς ἱερεῖς τοὺς ἐν Νομβα καὶ παρεγένοντο πάντες πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα

12 καὶ εἶπεν Σαουλ ἄκουε δή υἱὲ Αχιτωβ καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ ἐγώ λάλει κύριε

13 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Σαουλ ἵνα τί συνέθου κατ᾽ ἐμοῦ σὺ καὶ ὁ υἱὸς Ιεσσαι δοῦναί σε αὐτῷ ἄρτον καὶ ῥομφαίαν καὶ ἐρωτᾶν αὐτῷ διὰ τοῦ θεοῦ θέσθαι αὐτὸν ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ εἰς ἐχθρὸν ὡς ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη

14 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη τῷ βασιλεῖ καὶ εἶπεν καὶ τίς ἐν πᾶσιν τοῖς δούλοις σου ὡς Δαυιδ πιστὸς καὶ γαμβρὸς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ ἄρχων παντὸς παραγγέλματός σου καὶ ἔνδοξος ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου

15 ἦ σήμερον ἦργμαι ἐρωτᾶν αὐτῷ διὰ τοῦ θεοῦ μηδαμῶς μὴ δότω ὁ βασιλεὺς κατὰ τοῦ δούλου αὐτοῦ λόγον καὶ ἐφ᾽ ὅλον τὸν οἶκον τοῦ πατρός μου ὅτι οὐκ ᾔδει ὁ δοῦλος ὁ σὸς ἐν πᾶσιν τούτοις ῥῆμα μικρὸν ἢ μέγα

16 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Σαουλ θανάτῳ ἀποθανῇ Αβιμελεχ σὺ καὶ πᾶς ὁ οἶκος τοῦ πατρός σου

17 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τοῖς παρατρέχουσιν τοῖς ἐφεστηκόσιν ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν προσαγάγετε καὶ θανατοῦτε τοὺς ἱερεῖς τοῦ κυρίου ὅτι ἡ χεὶρ αὐτῶν μετὰ Δαυιδ καὶ ὅτι ἔγνωσαν ὅτι φεύγει αὐτός καὶ οὐκ ἀπεκάλυψαν τὸ ὠτίον μου καὶ οὐκ ἐβουλήθησαν οἱ παῖδες τοῦ βασιλέως ἐπενεγκεῖν τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῶν ἀπαντῆσαι εἰς τοὺς ἱερεῖς κυρίου

18 καὶ εἶπεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τῷ Δωηκ ἐπιστρέφου σὺ καὶ ἀπάντα εἰς τοὺς ἱερεῖς καὶ ἐπεστράφη Δωηκ ὁ Σύρος καὶ ἐθανάτωσεν τοὺς ἱερεῖς κυρίου ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τριακοσίους καὶ πέντε ἄνδρας πάντας αἴροντας εφουδ

19 καὶ τὴν Νομβα τὴν πόλιν τῶν ἱερέων ἐπάταξεν ἐν στόματι ῥομφαίας ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς ἕως γυναικός ἀπὸ νηπίου ἕως θηλάζοντος καὶ μόσχου καὶ ὄνου καὶ προβάτου

20 καὶ διασῴζεται υἱὸς εἷς τῷ Αβιμελεχ υἱῷ Αχιτωβ καὶ ὄνομα αὐτῷ Αβιαθαρ καὶ ἔφυγεν ὀπίσω Δαυιδ

21 καὶ ἀπήγγειλεν Αβιαθαρ τῷ Δαυιδ ὅτι ἐθανάτωσεν Σαουλ πάντας τοὺς ἱερεῖς τοῦ κυρίου

22 καὶ εἶπεν Δαυιδ τῷ Αβιαθαρ ἤιδειν ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ὅτι Δωηκ ὁ Σύρος ὅτι ἀπαγγέλλων ἀπαγγελεῖ τῷ Σαουλ ἐγώ εἰμι αἴτιος τῶν ψυχῶν οἴκου τοῦ πατρός σου

23 κάθου μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ μὴ φοβοῦ ὅτι οὗ ἐὰν ζητῶ τῇ ψυχῇ μου τόπον ζητήσω καὶ τῇ ψυχῇ σου ὅτι πεφύλαξαι σὺ παρ᾽ ἐμοί

1 Abiit ergo David inde, et fugit in speluncam Odollam. Quod cum audissent fratres ejus, et omnis domus patris ejus, descenderunt ad eum illuc.

2 Et convenerunt ad eum omnes qui erant in angustia constituti, et oppressi ære alieno, et amaro animo: et factus est eorum princeps, fueruntque cum eo quasi quadringenti viri.

3 Et profectus est David inde in Maspha, quæ est Moab: et dixit ad regem Moab: Maneat, oro, pater meus et mater mea vobiscum, donec sciam quid faciat mihi Deus.

4 Et reliquit eos ante faciem regis Moab: manseruntque apud eum cunctis diebus quibus David fuit in præsidio.

5 Dixitque Gad propheta ad David: Noli manere in præsidio: proficiscere, et vade in terram Juda. Et profectus est David, et venit in saltum Haret.

6 Et audivit Saul quod apparuisset David, et viri qui erant cum eo. Saul autem cum maneret in Gabaa, et esset in nemore quod est in Rama, hastam manu tenens, cunctique servi ejus circumstarent eum,

7 ait ad servos suos qui assistebant ei: Audite nunc, filii Jemini: numquid omnibus vobis dabit filius Isai agros et vineas, et universos vos faciet tribunos et centuriones?

8 quoniam conjurastis omnes adversum me, et non est qui mihi renuntiet, maxime cum et filius meus fœdus inierit cum filio Isai. Non est qui vicem meam doleat ex vobis, nec qui annuntiet mihi: eo quod suscitaverit filius meus servum meum adversum me, insidiantem mihi usque hodie.

9 Respondens autem Doëg Idumæus, qui assistebat, et erat primus inter servos Saul: Vidi, inquit, filium Isai in Nobe apud Achimelech filium Achitob sacerdotem.

10 Qui consuluit pro eo Dominum, et cibaria dedit ei: sed et gladium Goliath Philisthæi dedit illi.

11 Misit ergo rex ad accersendum Achimelech sacerdotem filium Achitob, et omnem domum patris ejus, sacerdotum qui erant in Nobe, qui universi venerunt ad regem.

12 Et ait Saul ad Achimelech: Audi, fili Achitob. Qui respondit: Præsto sum, domine.

13 Dixitque ad eum Saul: Quare conjurastis adversum me, tu et filius Isai, et dedisti ei panes et gladium, et consuluisti pro eo Deum, ut consurgeret adversum me, insidiator usque hodie permanens?

14 Respondensque Achimelech regi, ait: Et quis in omnibus servis tuis sicut David, fidelis, et gener regis, et pergens ad imperium tuum, et gloriosus in domo tua?

15 num hodie cœpi pro eo consulere Deum? absit hoc a me: ne suspicetur rex adversus servum suum rem hujuscemodi, in universa domo patris mei: non enim scivit servus tuus quidquam super hoc negotio, vel modicum vel grande.

16 Dixitque rex: Morte morieris Achimelech, tu et omnis domus patris tui.

17 Et ait rex emissariis qui circumstabant eum: Convertimini, et interficite sacerdotes Domini, nam manus eorum cum David est: scientes quod fugisset, et non indicaverunt mihi. Noluerunt autem servi regis extendere manus suas in sacerdotes Domini.

18 Et ait rex ad Doëg: Convertere tu, et irrue in sacerdotes. Conversusque Doëg Idumæus, irruit in sacerdotes, et trucidavit in die illa octoginta quinque viros vestitos ephod lineo.

19 Nobe autem civitatem sacerdotum percussit in ore gladii, viros et mulieres, et parvulos et lactentes, bovemque, et asinum, et ovem in ore gladii.

20 Evadens autem unus filius Achimelech filii Achitob, cujus nomen erat Abiathar, fugit ad David,

21 et annuntiavit ei quod occidisset Saul sacerdotes Domini.

22 Et ait David ad Abiathar: Sciebam in die illa quod cum ibi esset Doëg Idumæus, procul dubio annuntiaret Sauli: ego sum reus omnium animarum patris tui.

23 Mane mecum: ne timeas: si quis quæsierit animam meam, quæret et animam tuam, mecumque servaberis.
