@ 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?
strkjv@1Samuel: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
.
strkjv@1Samuel:21:3
@ Now therefore what
is
under thine
hand
?
give
me
five
loaves of
bread
in mine
hand
, or what there is
present
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
.
strkjv@1Samuel:21:6
@ So the
priest
gave
him
hallowed
bread: for there was no
bread
there but the
shewbread
, that was
taken
from
before
the
LORD
, to
put
hot
bread
in the
day
when it was taken
away
.
strkjv@1Samuel:21:7
@ Now a certain
man

was there that
day

detained
before

LORD

was
Doeg
, an
Edomite
, the
chiefest
of the
herdmen
that belonged to
Saul
.
strkjv@1Samuel: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
kings
business
required
haste

strkjv@1Samuel:21:9
@ And the

said

sword
of
Goliath

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.
strkjv@1Samuel:21:10
@ And
David
arose
, and
fled
that
day

went

Gath

said
unto him, Is not this
David

sing
one to another of
him

dances
,
saying
,
Saul
hath
slain
his
thousands

David
his ten
thousands

strkjv@1Samuel:21:12

David
laid
up
these

Gath

strkjv@1Samuel:21:13
@ And he
changed
his
behaviour
before
them, and feigned himself
mad
in their
hands

scrabbled
on the
doors

gate
, and let his
spittle
fall
down
upon his

strkjv@1Samuel:22:1
@
David
therefore
departed
thence, and
escaped
to the
cave
Adullam

house
heard
it, they went
down
thither to him.

@ And every
one
that was in
distress

themselves unto him; and he became a

over them: and there were with him about
four
hundred

forth
