And Nob, the city of the priests, smote he with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and asses, and sheep, with the edge of the sword.

Verse 19 is found in chapter 22 of 1 Samuel. Saul accuses the priests of Nob of conspiring with David. Ahimelech responds that David was considered faithful to the king and that he knew nothing of any rebellion. Saul orders the priests killed, and when his servants refuse, Doeg carries out the order. The slaughter at Nob represents one of the most serious manifestations of Saul’s abuse of power. The king uses his authority to punish people who, according to the account itself, acted without knowledge of the alleged conspiracy.

Und die Stadt der Priester, Nobe, schlug er mit der Schärfe des Schwerts, Mann und Weib, Kinder und Säuglinge, Ochsen und Esel und Schafe.
Y a Nob, ciudad de los sacerdotes, puso a cuchillo: así a hombres como a mujeres, niños y mamantes, bueyes y asnos y ovejas, todo a cuchillo.
También hirió a filo de espada a Nob, la ciudad de los sacerdotes: hombres y mujeres, niños y bebés de pecho, bueyes, asnos y ovejas; a todos los hirió a filo de espada.
Saül frappa encore du tranchant de l'épée Nob, ville sacerdotale; hommes et femmes, enfants et nourrissons, boeufs, ânes, et brebis, tombèrent sous le tranchant de l'épée.
Poi Saulle percosse Nob, città de’ sacerdoti, mettendo a fil di spada uomini e donne, fanciulli e bambini di poppa; mise eziandio a fil di spada buoi, asini e pecore
Também a Nobe, cidade destes sacerdotes, passou a fio de espada, desde o homem até à mulher, desde os meninos até aos de peito, e até os bois, jumentos e ovelhas passou a fio de espada.
又用刀把祭司城 挪伯 中的男女、孩童和吃奶的都殺了,又用刀殺了牛、羊和驢子。
