1 SAMUEL 22:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the king said, Thou shalt surely die, Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father’s house.”
And the king said, You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father's house — Saul's *va'yomer hamelekh mot tamut Achimelek ata v'kol bet avacha*, you shall surely die, passes a death sentence on the entire priestly household. The *mot tamut*, surely die, is emphatic, double death, suggesting finality and severity.
