Then Saul said to Doeg, "Turn and kill the priests." So Doeg, the Edomite, turned and killed them. On that day he killed eighty-five men who wore the priestly robes. But Abiathar, one of the sons of Ahimelech, escaped and fled to David.
Many of the advocates of the identity of the incident at the bottom of the two accounts would accept the latter explanation; we take the former. Saul had three thousand men with him; David had left his little troop 'in the wilderness, and seems to have come with only his two companions, Ahimelech and his own nephew, Abishai, to reconnoitre.
It may reasonably be doubted whether all Christian communities have learned the sweep of that principle yet, or so judge of the relative importance of keeping up their appointed forms of worship, and of feeding their hungry brother. The brave Ahimelech, 'the son of Ahitub, was ahead of a good many people of to-day.
Then answered Doeg the Edomite, which was set over the servants of Saul, and said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub. And he enquired of the LORD for him, and gave him victuals, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.
And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place. Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.

Now the first lot came forth to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,
To this his end did Saul come, according to the prophecy of Samuel, because he disobeyed the commands of God about the Amalekites, and on the account of his destroying the family of Ahimelech the high priest, with Ahimelech himself, and the city of the high priests. From The Death Of Saul To The Death Of David.
Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?
And one of the sons of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, and fled after David. And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had slain the LORD's priests. And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul: I have occasioned the death of all the persons of thy father's house.
For, you see, Aunt Elizabeth Jane's method was to go steadily on with a text, and not distinguish titles and stage directions. So her nephew, being docile, tackled the fifty-second Psalm, and did not flinch from m, a, s, mass c, h, i, l, chill; total, Mass-Chill nor from d, o, do; e, g, hegg; total, Do-Hegg. But when he came to Ahimelech, he gave him up, and had to be told.
