But one of the sons of Ahimelech, named Abiathar, escaped and fled to David — Abiathar's *va'yimlat echad ben Achimelek shem Avyatar*, escaped, represents the sole survivor of the massacre. His flight to David establishes the connection between the destroyed priesthood and David, the victim who becomes responsible for the catastrophe.
