“Before 1307 the Knights Templar – together with the Knights of St. John of Jeruzalem and in part the Teutonic Knights (these two were originally charitable orders) – were leading organizations behind the crusades in the middle east.”
“In 1523 the Turkish siege of Cyprus put the Knights Hospitaller on the move again, and they found refuge in Malta, given to them by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, where they became known as the Knights of Malta or the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. Napoleon’s invasion of Malta in 1798 forced the Sovereign Military Order into a diaspora, and today it exists as scattered branches throughout the world.”

“But one son of Ahimelek
1 SAMUEL 22:20-23
son of Ahitub, named Abiathar,
escaped and fled to join David.
He told David that Saul had killed the priests…
Then David said to Abiathar,
“That day, when Doeg the Edomite was there,
I knew he would be sure to tell Saul.
I am responsible
for the death of your whole family.
Stay with me; don’t be afraid.
The man who wants to kill you is trying to kill me too.
You will be safe with me.'”
