Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Then the king ordered the guards at his side, “Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because they too sided with David. For they knew he was fleeing, but they did not tell me.” But the king’s servants would not lift a hand to strike the priests of the LORD.
World English Bible (WEB)
The king said to the guard who stood about him, “Turn, and kill the priests of Yahweh; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew that he fled, and didn’t disclose it to me.” But the servants of the king wouldn’t put forth their hand to fall on the priests of Yahweh.

And the king{H4428} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the footmen{H7323}{(H8801)} that stood{H5324}{(H8737)} about him, Turn{H5437}{(H8798)}, and slay{H4191}{(H8685)} the priests{H3548} of the LORD{H3068}; because their hand{H3027} also is with David{H1732}, and because they knew{H3045}{(H8804)} when he fled{H1272}{(H8802)}, and did not shew{H1540}{(H8804)}{H241} it to me.

Young's Literal Translation
And the king saith to runners, those standing by him, ‘Turn round, and put to death the priests of Jehovah, because their hand also is with David, and because they have known that he is fleeing, and have not uncovered mine ear;’ and the servants of the king have not been willing to put forth their hand to come against the priests of Jehovah.
