Read 1 Samuel 22.11-23
In verse 13: Saul accuses Ahimelech of treason.
In verses 14-15: Ahimelech's eloquent defense makes the point that David is Saul's most loyal servant and so-in-law and that he (Ahimelech) was unaware of any change in their relationship.
In verses 16-17: These reminders only infuriate Saul more, and he orders the death of the priests.
In verse 18: Only Doeg, who is an Edomite, dares to attack the Lord's priests.
In verse 19: Saul devotes Nob to destruction.
Ironically, this is what he failed to do against he Amalekites in ch 15.
In verses 20-21: The one escapee is Abiathar in fulfillment of the oracle against the house of Eli in 2.27-36.
He will prove a useful asset to David.
