Chapter 22

KJV - 1 Samuel 22:17

And the king said unto the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD: because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not shew it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to fall upon the priests of the LORD.

The king told his guards to kill the Lord's priests because they supported David and knew when he ran but didn't tell the king. However, the king's servants refused to attack the Lord's priests.
