20 But (A)one son of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, (B)escaped and fled [a]to David. 21 Abiathar informed David that Saul had killed the priests of the Lord. 22 Then David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when (C)Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would certainly tell Saul. I myself [b]have turned against every person in your father’s household. 23 Stay with me; do not be afraid, [c]even though (D)he who is seeking my life is seeking your life. For you are safe with me.”

21 And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had slain the Lord's priests.
22 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.
23 Abide thou with me, fear not: for he that seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.
