1 Samuel 22 8-1 Samuel 22 19
That’s why all of you have conspired against me! Nobody tells me when my own son makes a covenant with Jesse’s son. None of you cares about me or tells me that my son has stirred up my own servant to wait in ambush for me, as is the case today.”Then Doeg the Edomite, who was in charge of Saul’s servants, answered,“ I saw Jesse’s son come to Ahimelech son of Ahitub at Nob.Ahimelech inquired of the LORD for him and gave him provisions. He also gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”The king sent messengers to summon the priest Ahimelech son of Ahitub, and his father’s whole family, who were priests in Nob. All of them came to the king.Then Saul said,“ Listen, son of Ahitub!”“ I’m at your service, my lord,” he said.Saul asked him,“ Why did you and Jesse’s son conspire against me? You gave him bread and a sword and inquired of God for him, so he could rise up against me and wait in ambush, as is the case today.”Ahimelech replied to the king,“ Who among all your servants is as faithful as David? He is the king’s son-in-law, captain of your bodyguard, and honored in your house.Was today the first time I inquired of God for him? Of course not! Please don’t let the king make an accusation against your servant or any of my father’s family, for your servant didn’t have any idea about all this.”But the king said,“ You will die, Ahimelech— you and your father’s whole family!”Then the king ordered the guards standing by him,“ Turn and kill the priests of the LORD because they sided with David. For they knew he was fleeing, but they didn’t tell me.” But the king’s servants would not lift a hand to execute the priests of the LORD.So the king said to Doeg,“ Go and execute the priests!” So Doeg the Edomite went and executed the priests himself. On that day, he killed eighty-five men who wore linen ephods.He also struck down Nob, the city of the priests, with the sword— both men and women, infants and nursing babies, oxen, donkeys, and sheep.

Deuteronomy 19:15-21
“ One witness cannot establish any iniquity or sin against a person, whatever that person has done. A fact must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.“ If a malicious witness testifies against someone accusing him of a crime,the two people in the dispute are to stand in the presence of the LORD before the priests and judges in authority at that time.The judges are to make a careful investigation, and if the witness turns out to be a liar who has falsely accused his brother,you must do to him as he intended to do to his brother. You must purge the evil from you.Then everyone else will hear and be afraid, and they will never again do anything evil like this among you.Do not show pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, and foot for foot.

Then the wicked men testified against Naboth in the presence of the people, saying,“ Naboth has cursed God and the king!” So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death with stones.
