The king said to the guard who stood about him, Turn, and kill the priests of Yahweh; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and didn't disclose it to me. But the servants of the king wouldn't put forth their hand to fall on the priests of Yahweh.
Saul was aware that some in his army, apparently even some of his tribal kinsmen from Benjamin, had deserted to David (1 Samuel 22:7). He showed signs of paranoia when he claimed that Jonathan had encouraged David to ambush him (1 Samuel 22:8; 1 Samuel 22:13). There is no indication that Jonathan had done this. Doeg was obviously loyal to Saul (1 Samuel 22:9-10), but he proved disloyal to Yahweh (1 Samuel 22:18-19).
