In the spring of 2940 AM (1064 BC), Doeg the Edomite executed eighty-five priests and the entire population of [[Nob]], including [[Ahimelech I]], the high priest. But Abiathar escaped that slaughter and joined [[David]]. He brought with him the [[sacerdotal garments]], including the [[ephod]], the [[breastplate of judgment]], and the [[Urim and Thummim]], so that he could inquire of [[God]] on behalf of David when needed.
