Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.”Cain said to his brother Abel,“ Let’s go out to the field.” And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

Listen and pay attention. Do not be proud, for the LORD has spoken.Give glory to the LORD your God before he brings darkness, before your feet stumble on the mountains at dusk. You wait for light, but he brings darkest gloom and makes total darkness.But if you will not listen, my innermost being will weep in secret because of your pride. My eyes will overflow with tears, for the LORD’s flock has been taken captive.

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.However, one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub escaped. His name was Abiathar, and he fled to David.Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the LORD.Then David said to Abiathar,“ I knew that Doeg the Edomite was there that day and that he was sure to report to Saul. I myself am responsible for the lives of everyone in your father’s family.Stay with me. Don’t be afraid, for the one who wants to take my life wants to take your life. You will be safe with me.”
