Ahimelech Ahim'elech Ahitub Ahi'tub Book Family Father's Household Kings Nob Priest Priests Someone Summon
22:11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, {h} the priests that [were] in Nob: and they came all of them to the king.
(h) Which were the remnant of the house of Eli, whose house God threatened to punish.
22:11 The priests - Of the house of Eli, which God had threatened to cut off, chap.2:31.
22:6-19 See the nature of jealous malice and its pitiful arts. Saul looks upon all about him as his enemies, because they do not just say as he says. In Ahimelech's answer to Saul we have the language of conscious innocence. But what wickedness will not the evil spirit hurry men to when he gets the dominion! Saul alleges that which was utterly false and unproved. But the most bloody tyrants have found instruments of their cruelty as barbarous as themselves. Doeg, having murdered the priests, went to the city, Nob, and put all to the sword there. Nothing so vile but those may do it, who have provoked God to give them up to their hearts' lusts. Yet this was the accomplishment of the threatenings against the house of Eli. Though Saul was unrighteous in doing this, yet God was righteous in permitting it. No word of God shall fall to the ground.
