Of course not! Let not the king accuse your servant or any of his father’s family, for your servant knows nothing at all about this whole affair.”But the king said,“ You will surely die, Ahimelek, you and your whole family.”Then the king ordered the guards at his side:“ Turn and kill the priests of the Lord, because they too have sided with David. They knew he was fleeing, yet they did not tell me.” But the king’s officials were unwilling to raise a hand to strike the priests of the Lord.The king then ordered Doeg,“ You turn and strike down the priests.” So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck them down.

So tell me the dream and interpret it for me.”Once more they replied,“ Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will interpret it.”Then the king answered,“ I am certain that you are trying to gain time, because you realize that this is what I have firmly decided:If you do not tell me the dream, there is only one penalty for you. You have conspired to tell me misleading and wicked things, hoping the situation will change. So then, tell me the dream, and I will know that you can interpret it for me.”The astrologers answered the king,“ There is no one on earth who can do what the king asks! No king, however great and mighty, has ever asked such a thing of any magician or enchanter or astrologer.What the king asks is too difficult. No one can reveal it to the king except the gods, and they do not live among humans.”This made the king so angry and furious that he ordered the execution of all the wise men of Babylon.So the decree was issued to put the wise men to death, and men were sent to look for Daniel and his friends to put them to death.
