In the book of 1 Samuel, chapter 21, David fled from Saul. He was afraid for his life.
He went to a priest in Nob, who gave him loaves of bread and the only weapon he had: the sword from Goliath the Philistine. One of Saul's officers was also nearby, and later on told Saul of the interaction.
In chapter 22, David found solace in a cave near Adullam. He spent time with his family and prayed what to do next.
Saul learned of David and his son Jonathan, and became outraged. He demanded answers.
Ahimelech, one of the officers who saw David back in Nob, told Saul what he saw. He ordered all of the priests killed.
And so it was done.
