Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said to him, Why are you alone, and no man with you?
And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has commanded me to do an errand, and has said to me, Let no man know anything of the errand on which I send you, and what I have commanded you: and I have assigned my servants to such and such a place.
And Nob, the city of the priests, he struck with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and donkeys, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.
