The Story is found in 1st Samuel 22.
Saul was chasing David to kill him.
And David was running away and ended up in a place called Nob.
And he came to a priest called Ahimelech.
And Ahimelech gave David the bread to eat and gave the sword of goliath.
And while this was happening, there was a man called doeg, an edomite.
This man doeg goes to Saul and tells him what has happened at Nob.
then Saul calls Ahimelech the priest and all his household.
and on that day 85 men were killed , and not only that all the city of the Nob was attacked both men and women belonging to the priests.
Just because of an evil tongue.
V2
Your tongue devises destruction,
Like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 You love evil more than good,
Lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah
This man doeg was an edommite. who was an edomite, the descandant of EdomEsau. Esau destroyed himself by his own words when he despised his birthright. and his descandent doeg destroyed the family of priests with his words.
Whole household of priests were killed because of the words of an evil man.
A Wicked person is known by his/her tongue.
V 5 God shall likewise destroy you forever;
Whatever words you sow to speak against a brother or sister, that will come upon you.
Sowing and Reaping is a principle.
Whatever words you sow in other peoples lives. Even a single word you speak against other brother or sister, you will reap it.
V 8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God;
I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever.
Be Established in the house of God.
You might be someone who is coming regularly, But expand your faith in every area of your life and be established in the house of God.
