Saul asked him,“ Why did you and Jesse’s son conspire against me? You gave him bread and a sword and inquired of God for him, so he could rise up against me and wait in ambush, as is the case today.”Ahimelech replied to the king,“ Who among all your servants is as faithful as David? He is the king’s son-in-law, captain of your bodyguard, and honored in your house.Was today the first time I inquired of God for him? Of course not! Please don’t let the king make an accusation against your servant or any of my father’s family, for your servant didn’t have any idea about all this.”But the king said,“ You will die, Ahimelech— you and your father’s whole family!”Then the king ordered the guards standing by him,“ Turn and kill the priests of the LORD because they sided with David. For they knew he was fleeing, but they didn’t tell me.” But the king’s servants would not lift a hand to execute the priests of the LORD.So the king said to Doeg,“ Go and execute the priests!” So Doeg the Edomite went and executed the priests himself. On that day, he killed eighty-five men who wore linen ephods.He also struck down Nob, the city of the priests, with the sword— both men and women, infants and nursing babies, oxen, donkeys, and sheep.However, one of the sons of Ahimelech son of Ahitub escaped. His name was Abiathar, and he fled to David.Abiathar told David that Saul had killed the priests of the LORD.Then David said to Abiathar,“ I knew that Doeg the Edomite was there that day and that he was sure to report to Saul. I myself am responsible for the lives of everyone in your father’s family.Stay with me. Don’t be afraid, for the one who wants to take my life wants to take your life. You will be safe with me.”

Genesis 3:6-12
The woman saw that the tree was good for food and delightful to look at, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.So the LORD God called out to the man and said to him,“ Where are you?”And he said,“ I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.”Then he asked,“ Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”The man replied,“ The woman you gave to be with me— she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate.”

Genesis 4:5-14
but he did not have regard for Cain and his offering. Cain was furious, and he looked despondent.Then the LORD said to Cain,“ Why are you furious? And why do you look despondent?If you do what is right, won’t you be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.”Cain said to his brother Abel,“ Let’s go out to the field.” And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.Then the LORD said to Cain,“ Where is your brother Abel?”“ I don’t know,” he replied.“ Am I my brother’s guardian?”Then he said,“ What have you done? Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground!So now you are cursed, alienated from the ground that opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood you have shed.If you work the ground, it will never again give you its yield. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”But Cain answered the LORD,“ My punishment is too great to bear!Since you are banishing me today from the face of the earth, and I must hide from your presence and become a restless wanderer on the earth, whoever finds me will kill me.”

Numbers 16:19-41
After Korah assembled the whole community against them at the entrance to the tent of meeting, the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole community.The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron,“ Separate yourselves from this community so I may consume them instantly.”But Moses and Aaron fell facedown and said,“ God, God who gives breath to all, when one man sins, will you vent your wrath on the whole community?”The LORD replied to Moses,“ Tell the community: Get away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram.”Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.He warned the community,“ Get away now from the tents of these wicked men. Don’t touch anything that belongs to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins.”So they got away from the dwellings of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Meanwhile, Dathan and Abiram came out and stood at the entrance of their tents with their wives, children, and infants.Then Moses said,“ This is how you will know that the LORD sent me to do all these things and that it was not of my own will:If these men die naturally as all people would, and suffer the fate of all, then the LORD has not sent me.But if the LORD brings about something unprecedented, and the ground opens its mouth and swallows them along with all that belongs to them so that they go down alive into Sheol, then you will know that these men have despised the LORD.”Just as he finished speaking all these words, the ground beneath them split open.The earth opened its mouth and swallowed them and their households, all Korah’s people, and all their possessions.They went down alive into Sheol with all that belonged to them. The earth closed over them, and they vanished from the assembly.At their cries, all the people of Israel who were around them fled because they thought,“ The earth may swallow us too!”Fire also came out from the LORD and consumed the 250 men who were presenting the incense.Then the LORD spoke to Moses:“ Tell Eleazar son of Aaron the priest to remove the firepans from the burning debris, because they are holy, and scatter the fire far away.As for the firepans of those who sinned at the cost of their own lives, make them into hammered sheets as plating for the altar, for they presented them before the LORD, and the firepans are holy. They will be a sign to the Israelites.”So the priest Eleazar took the bronze firepans that those who were burned had presented, and they were hammered into plating for the altar,just as the LORD commanded him through Moses. It was to be a reminder for the Israelites that no unauthorized person outside the lineage of Aaron should approach to offer incense before the LORD and become like Korah and his followers.The next day the entire Israelite community complained about Moses and Aaron, saying,“ You have killed the LORD’s people!”
