Context
16Lakini mfalme akasema, “Ahimeleki, hakika utakufa, wewe na jamaa yote ya baba yako.” 17Ndipo mfalme akawaamuru walinzi wake waliokuwa kando yake: “Geukeni na kuwaua makuhani wa Bwana, kwa sababu nao pia wamejiunga na Daudi. Walijua kuwa alikuwa anakimbia, wala hawakuniambia.”
Lakini maafisa wa mfalme hawakuwa radhi kuinua mkono kuwaua makuhani wa Bwana. 18Kisha mfalme akamwagiza Doegi, “Wewe geuka ukawaue makuhani.” Hivyo basi Doegi Mwedomu, akageuka na kuwaua. Siku ile aliwaua watu themanini na watano wavaao visibau vya kitani. 19Pia akaupiga Nobu kwa upanga, mji wa makuhani, wakiwemo wanaume na wanawake, watoto wadogo na wale wanyonyao, ngʼombe wake, punda na kondoo. 20Lakini Abiathari, mwana wa Ahimeleki, mwana wa Ahitubu, akatoroka, akakimbia na kujiunga na Daudi.
