He was the son of Ahitub and served in the sanctuary at Nob. Achimelek is most notably remembered for his interaction with David when David was fleeing from Saul. In 1 Samuel 21, David visits Achimelek and receives consecrated bread and the sword of Goliath. This act of assistance to David led to tragic consequences. Saul, upon learning of Achimelek's aid to David, ordered the massacre of the priests of Nob, resulting in the death of Achimelek and many others (1 Samuel 22:9-19).
