In context — 1 Samuel 22:17
And the king said to the runners standing before him, “Turn and put to death the priests of the LORD , for their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he was fleeing and did not report it to my ear .” But the servants of the king were not willing to send forth their hand to strike the priests of the LORD.
