1SA-21:1 Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and
Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him,
Why
[art] thou alone, and no man with thee?
1SA-21:2 And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath
commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know
any
thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have
commanded thee: and I have appointed [my] servants to such and
such a
place.
1SA-21:3 Now therefore what is under thine hand? give [me] five
[loaves of] bread in mine hand, or what there is present.
1SA-21:4 And the priest answered David, and said, [There is] no
common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the
young men have kept themselves at least from women.
1SA-21:5 And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a
truth
women [have been] kept from us about these three days, since I
came
out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and [the bread
is] in
a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the
vessel.
1SA-21:6 So the priest gave him hallowed [bread]: for there was
no
bread there but the showbread, that was taken from before the
LORD, to
put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
1SA-21:7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul [was] there
that
day, detained before the LORD; and his name [was] Doeg, an
Edomite,
the chiefest of the herdmen that [belonged] to Saul.
1SA-21:8 And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here
under
thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword
nor my
weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.
1SA-21:9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the
Philistine,
whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it [is here]
wrapped
in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take [it]:
for
[there is] no other save that here. And David said, [There is]
none
like that; give it me.
1SA-21:10 And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul,
and
went to Achish the king of Gath.
1SA-21:11 And the servants of Achish said unto him, [Is] not
this
David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of
him in
dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten
thousands?
1SA-21:12 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was
sore
afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
1SA-21:13 And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned
himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the
gate,
and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.
1SA-21:14 Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the
man is
mad: wherefore [then] have ye brought him to me?
1SA-21:15 Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this
[fellow]
to play the mad man in my presence? shall this [fellow] come
into my
house?
