[:en]David left Gath and escaped to the cave of Adullan. From there, he went to Mizpah in Moab and then to the forest of Horeth. When Saul heard that David and his men had escaped, Doez, the Edomite reported that Ahimelech gave David bread and the sword of Goliath. Saul summoned Ahimelech and ordered Doez to strike down all the priests. But Abiathar, a son of Ahimelech escaped and fled to join David. David told him to stay with him and not to be afraid.[:]
