TO TRY to impress on Israel that death would befall anyone who gave aid to David, Saul ordered the execution of the priests of Nob, although only Ahimelech, the high priest, had helped David. Saul then sent the executioners, led by Doeg the Edomite, to kill all the other people in the little priestly town. (I Samuel 22:18-19.) Slaughter Without Pity; Doeg and the men arrived at night to quickly fall on the unsuspecting families of the slain priests in their homes. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
