1 Samuel 21

Then came
<0935> (8799)
David
<01732>
to Nob
<05011>
to Ahimelech
<0288>
the priest
<03548>_:
and Ahimelech
<0288>
was afraid
<02729> (8799)
at the meeting
<07125> (8800)
of David
<01732>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Why [art] thou alone, and no man
<0376>
with thee? {Ahimelech: also called Ahiah}
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Ahimelech
<0288>
the priest
<03548>_,
The king
<04428>
hath commanded
<06680> (8765)
me a business
<01697>_,
and hath said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Let no man
<0376>
know
<03045> (8799)
any thing
<03972>
of the business
<01697>
whereabout I send
<07971> (8802)
thee, and what I have commanded
<06680> (8765)
thee: and I have appointed
<03045> (8776)
[my] servants
<05288>
to such
<06423>
and such
<0492>
a place
<04725>_.
Now therefore what is
<03426>
under thine hand
<03027>_?
give
<05414> (8798)
[me] five
<02568>
[loaves of] bread
<03899>
in mine hand
<03027>_,
or what there is present
<04672> (8737)_.
{present: Heb. found}
And the priest
<03548>
answered
<06030> (8799)
David
<01732>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
[There is] no common
<02455>
bread
<03899>
under mine hand
<03027>_,
but there is
<03426>
hallowed
<06944>
bread
<03899>_;
if the young men
<05288>
have kept
<08104> (8738)
themselves at least
<0389>
from women
<0802>_.
And David
<01732>
answered
<06030> (8799)
the priest
<03548>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Of a truth
<0518>
women
<0802>
[have been] kept
<06113> (8803)
from us about these three
<08032>
days
<08543>_,
since I came out
<03318> (8800)_,
and the vessels
<03627>
of the young men
<05288>
are holy
<06944>_,
and [the bread is] in a manner
<01870>
common
<02455>_,
yea, though it were sanctified
<06942> (8799)
this day
<03117>
in the vessel
<03627>_.
{yea...: or, especially when this day there is other sanctified in the vessel}
So the priest
<03548>
gave
<05414> (8799)
him hallowed
<06944>
[bread]: for there was no bread
<03899>
there but the shewbread
<03899> <06440>_,
that was taken
<05493> (8716)
from before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_,
to put
<07760> (8800)
hot
<02527>
bread
<03899>
in the day
<03117>
when it was taken away
<03947> (8736)_.
Now a certain man
<0376>
of the servants
<05650>
of Saul
<07586>
[was] there that day
<03117>_,
detained
<06113> (8737)
before
<06440>
the LORD
<03068>_;
and his name
<08034>
[was] Doeg
<01673>_,
an Edomite
<0130>_,
the chiefest
<047>
of the herdmen
<07462> (8802)
that [belonged] to Saul
<07586>_.
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Ahimelech
<0288>_,
And is there
<03426>
not
<0371>
here under thine hand
<03027>
spear
<02595>
or sword
<02719>_?
for I have neither brought
<03947> (8804)
my sword
<02719>
nor my weapons
<03627>
with me
<03027>_,
because the king's
<04428>
business
<01697>
required
<01961> (8804)
haste
<05169> (8803)_.
And the priest
<03548>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
The sword
<02719>
of Goliath
<01555>
the Philistine
<06430>_,
whom thou slewest
<05221> (8689)
in the valley
<06010>
of Elah
<0425>_,
behold, it [is here] wrapped
<03874> (8803)
in a cloth
<08071>
behind
<0310>
the ephod
<0646>_:
if thou wilt take
<03947> (8799)
that, take
<03947> (8798)
[it]: for [there is] no other
<0312>
save
<02108>
that here
<02088>_.
And David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[There is] none like that; give
<05414> (8798)
it me.
And David
<01732>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and fled
<01272> (8799)
that day
<03117>
for fear
<06440>
of Saul
<07586>_,
and went
<0935> (8799)
to Achish
<0397>
the king
<04428>
of Gath
<01661>_.
And the servants
<05650>
of Achish
<0397>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, [Is] not this David
<01732>
the king
<04428>
of the land
<0776>_?
did they not sing
<06030> (8799)
one to another of him
<02088>
in dances
<04246>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Saul
<07586>
hath slain
<05221> (8689)
his thousands
<0505>_,
and David
<01732>
his ten thousands
<07233>_?
And David
<01732>
laid up
<07760> (8799)
these words
<01697>
in his heart
<03824>_,
and was sore
<03966>
afraid
<03372> (8799)
of
<06440>
Achish
<0397>
the king
<04428>
of Gath
<01661>_.
And he changed
<08138> (8762)
his behaviour
<02940>
before
<05869>
them, and feigned himself mad
<01984> (8704)
in their hands
<03027>_,
and scrabbled
<08427> (8762)
on the doors
<01817>
of the gate
<08179>_,
and let his spittle
<07388>
fall down
<03381> (8686)
upon his beard
<02206>_.
{scrabbled: or, made marks}
Then said
<0559> (8799)
Achish
<0397>
unto his servants
<05650>_,
Lo, ye see
<07200> (8799)
the man
<0376>
is mad
<07696> (8693)_:
wherefore [then] have ye brought
<0935> (8686)
him to me? {is mad: or, playeth the mad man}
Have I need
<02638>
of mad men
<07696> (8794)_,
that ye have brought
<0935> (8689)
this [fellow] to play the mad man
<07696> (8692)
in my presence? shall this [fellow] come
<0935> (8799)
into my house
<01004>_?
