Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the Lord’s priests.
But Abiathar son of Ahimelech escaped. He ran away and joined David.
Then David told Abiathar, “I saw Doeg the Edomite at Nob that day. I knew he would tell Saul! I am responsible for the death of your father’s family.
There is only one man I will save to serve as priest at my altar. He will live until his eyes wear out and his strength is gone. But all of your descendants will die by the sword.
