Ahimelech was the High-Priest at Nob.
When David is fleeing from King Saul, David requests help from Ahimelech. Ahimelech helps him by giving him Holy Bread and the sword of Goliath. When King Saul finds out about this, he massacres Ahimelech and the 85 other priests of Nob. Only his son Abiathar escapes.
