1 Samuel 22 17-1 Samuel 22 20
And the king said to the guards who were attending him,“ Turn around and put the priests of the Lord to death, because their hand also is with David and because they knew that he was fleeing and did not inform me.” But the servants of the king were unwilling to reach out with their hands to attack the priests of the Lord.Then the king said to Doeg,“ You, turn around and attack the priests!” And Doeg the Edomite turned around and attacked the priests, and he killed on that day eighty five men who wore the linen ephod.He also struck Nob the city of the priests with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and infants; he also struck oxen, donkeys, and sheep with the edge of the sword.But one son of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled to David.

1 Samuel 4 11-1 Samuel 4 20
Moreover, the ark of God was taken; and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.Now a man of Benjamin ran from the battle line and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes torn, and dust on his head.When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road keeping watch, because his heart was anxious about the ark of God. And the man came to give a report in the city, and all the city cried out.When Eli heard the noise of the outcry, he said,“ What does the noise of this commotion mean?” Then the man came hurriedly and told Eli.Now Eli was ninety eight years old, and his eyes were fixed and he could not see.The man said to Eli,“ I am the one who came from the battle line. Indeed, I escaped from the battle line today.” And he said,“ How are things, my son?”Then the one who brought the news replied,“ Israel has fled before the Philistines and there has also been a great defeat among the people, and your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas are also dead; and the ark of God has been taken.”When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell off the seat backward beside the gate, and his neck was broken and he died, for he was old and heavy. And so he judged Israel for forty years.Now his daughter in law, Phinehas’ wife, was pregnant and about to give birth; and when she heard the news that the ark of God had been taken and that her father in law and her husband had died, she kneeled down and gave birth, because her pains came upon her.And about the time of her death the women who were standing by her said to her,“ Do not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son.” But she did not answer or pay attention.

Ezekiel 30:21-24
“ Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and, behold, it has not been bound up for healing or wrapped with a bandage, so that it may be strong to wield the sword.Therefore this is what the Lord God says:‘ Behold, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and I will break his arms, both the strong and the broken; and I will make the sword fall from his hand.And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them among the lands.For I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put My sword in his hand; and I will break the arms of Pharaoh, so that he will groan before him with the groans of a wounded man.

Then to Abiathar the priest the king said,“ Go to Anathoth to your own field, for you deserve to die; but I will not put you to death at this time, because you carried the ark of the Lord God before my father David, and because you were afflicted in everything with which my father was afflicted.”So Solomon dismissed Abiathar from being priest to the Lord, to fulfill the word of the Lord, which He had spoken regarding the house of Eli in Shiloh.
