1 Samuel 22

After being warned by the prophet Gad, David escapes to the cave of Adullam, where his family and about four hundred distressed men gather around him.[1] When Saul learns from Doeg that Ahimelech aided David, Saul orders the execution of Ahimelech and eighty-four other priests, along with the slaughter of all people and livestock in Nob.[1]
