The corrections officer, Luis J. Privado, 23, was allegedly paid by co-defendant Abiathar A. Vance, 40, to drive Vance and the teen to and from Frederick, Md., late last year, said Lt.

Kirk Henneberry tells The Washington Post that 23-year-old Luis J. Privado was paid by 40-year-old Abiathar A. Vance to drive Vance and the teenager to and from Frederick, Maryland, late last year.

The charged the man, 39-year-old Abiathar Vance, with three counts of human trafficking.

Afterwards, when Abiathar fled to David with the high priest’s ephod, through which the judgment of Urim and Thummim seems to have been announced, David regarded that circumstance as an indication of the Divine permission to him to make use of the sacred oracle.

The very presence in his camp of Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, who escaped the massacre, with his ephod,—an official means of consulting God in all cases of difficulty,—would be a visible proof to his followers and to the community at large, that God was on his side.
