Read 1 Samuel 22.11-23. In verse 13: Saul accuses Abimelech of treason. In verses 14-15: Abimelech's eloquent defense makes the point that David is Saul's most loyal servant and son-in-law and that he (Abimelech) was unaware of any change in their relationship. In verses 16-17: These reminders only infuriates Saul more, and he orders the death of the priests. In verse 18: Only Doeg, who is an Edomite, dares attack the Lord's priests. In verse 19: Saul devotes Nob to destruction. Ironically, this is what he failed to do against the Amalekites in ch. 15. In verses 20-23: 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. Comments or Questions..
