16 E o rei disse: Sem dúvida morrerás, Aimeleque, tu e toda a casa de teu pai.

17 Então disse o rei à gente de sua guarda que estava ao redor dele: Voltai-vos e matai aos sacerdotes do SENHOR; porque também a mão deles é com Davi, pois sabendo eles que fugia, não o revelaram a mim. Mas os servos do rei não quiseram estender suas mãos para matar os sacerdotes do SENHOR.

18 Então disse o rei a Doegue: Volta tu, e arremete contra os sacerdotes. E revolvendo-se Doegue edomita, arremeteu contra os sacerdotes, e matou naquele dia oitenta e cinco homens que vestiam éfode de linho.

19 E a Nobe, cidade dos sacerdotes, pôs à espada: tanto a homens como a mulheres, meninos e mamantes, bois e asnos e ovelhas, tudo à espada.
