85 Priest killed then all the men, women, children, infants, cattle, donkeys, and sheep from their town

1 Samuel 22:18-19 The king then ordered Doeg, "You turn and strike down the priests." So Doeg the Edomite turned and struck them down. That day he killed eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod. 19 He also put to the sword Nob, the town of the priests, with its men and women, its children and infants, and its cattle, donkeys and sheep.

PERSONAL COMMENTARY


Thank goodness they had no goats.

Are you suggesting the priests killed 85 men? I think its saying 85 priests were killed... by Doeg, at the order of King Saul... who was not exactly a 'godly' king himself...
