Upon learning that Ahimelech had helped David, Saul ordered the execution not only of Ahimelech but also of all the priests and their families.
Uzzinājis, ka priesteris ir palīdzējis Dāvidam, Sauls pavēlēja nogalināt ne vien Ahimelehu, bet arī citus priesterus un to ģimenes. ( 1. Samuēla 22: 12 — 19.)
