One man, Ahimelech's son Abiathar, a grandson of Ahitub, escaped and fled to David.

Now when Ahimelech's son Abiathar had fled to David in Keilah, the ephod had come down with him.

And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech's son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
