1 Samuel 22:9-14 English Standard Version (ESV)

9. Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, “I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub,

10. and he inquired of the Lord for him and gave him provisions and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”

11. Then the king sent to summon Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were at Nob, and all of them came to the king.

12. And Saul said, “Hear now, son of Ahitub.” And he answered, “Here I am, my lord.”

13. And Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread and a sword and have inquired of God for him, so that he has risen against me, to lie in wait, as at this day?”

14. Then Ahimelech answered the king, “And who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, and captain over your bodyguard, and honored in your house?
