1 Samuel 22:17

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ Then he told the ·guards [or bodyguard] at his side, “·Go [Turn; Forward] and kill the priests of the Lord, because ·they are on David’s side [^Ltheir hand is with David]. They knew he was running away, but they didn’t ·tell [warn] me.”

But the king’s ·officers [^Lservants] refused to ·kill [attack; raise a hand against] the priests of the Lord.
