Then
David
came
to Nob
to Ahimelech
the priest;
and Ahimelech
came
trembling
to meet
David
and said
to him, "Why
are you alone
and no
one
with you?"
2
David
said
to Ahimelech
the priest,
"The king
has commissioned
me with a matter
and has
said
to me, 'Let no
one
know
anything
about the matter
on which
I am sending
you and with which
I have commissioned
you; and I have directed
the young men
to a certain
place.'
3
"Now
therefore, what
do you have
on hand?
Give
me five
loaves of bread,
or
whatever can be found."
4
The priest
answered
David
and said,
"There is no
ordinary
bread
on hand,
but there
is consecrated
bread
;
if
only
the young men
have kept
themselves from women."
5
David
answered
the priest
and said
to him, "Surely
women
have been kept
from us as previously
when I set
out and the vessels
of the young men
were holy,
though it was an ordinary
journey;
how much
more
then today
will their vessels
be holy?"
6
So the priest
gave
him consecrated
bread
; for
there
was no
bread
there
but the
bread
of the Presence
which was removed
from before
the LORD,
in order to put
hot
bread
in its place when
it was taken
away.
7
Now one
of the servants
of Saul
was there
that day,
detained
before
the LORD;
and his name
was Doeg
the Edomite,
the chief
of Saul
's
shepherds.
8
David
said
to Ahimelech,
"Now is there
not a spear
or
a sw
or
d
on hand?
F
or
I brought
neither
my sw
or
d
n
or
my weapons
with me, because
the king's
matter
was urgent."
9
Then the priest
said,
"The sword
of Goliath
the Philistine,
whom
you killed
in the valley
of Elah,
behold,
it is wrapped
in a cloth
behind
the ephod;
if
you would take it for yourself, take
it. For there is no
other
except
it here."
And David
said,
"There is none
like
it; give
it to me."
10
Then David
arose
and fled
that day
from Saul,
and went
to Achish
king
of Gath.
11
But the servants
of Achish
said
to him, "Is this
not David
the king
of the land?
Did they not sing
of this one
as they danced,
saying,
'Saul
has slain
his thousands,
And David
his ten thousands '?"
12
David
took
these
words
to heart
and greatly
feared
Achish
king
of Gath.
13
So he disguised
his sanity
before
them, and acted insanely
in their hands,
and scribbled
on the doors
of the gate,
and let his saliva
run down
into his beard.
14
Then Achish
said
to his servants,
"Behold,
you see
the man
behaving as a madman.
Why
do you bring
him to me?
15
"Do I lack
madmen,
that you have brought
this
one
to act
the madman
in my presence?
Shall
this
one
come
into my house?"
