1 Davidwent to the priest Ahimelech21:1 1Sm 14:3; Mk 2:26at Nob. 21:1 1Sm 22:19Ahimelechwas afraid to meet David, so he said to him, "Why are you alone and no one is with you? "
2 Davidanswered the priest Ahimelech, "The king gave me a mission, but he told me, ‘Don’t let anyone know anything about the mission I’m sending you on or what I have ordered you to do.’ I have stationed my young men at a certain place. 3 Now what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread or whatever can be found."
4 The priest told him, "There is no ordinary bread on hand. However, there is consecrated bread, 21:4 Ex 25:30; Lv 24:5–9; Mt 12:3–4but the young men may eat it 21:4 DSS; MT omits may eat itonly if they have kept themselves from women." 21:4 Ex 19:15
5 Davidanswered him, "I swear that women are being kept from us, as always when I go out to battle. 21:5 2Sm 11:11The young men’s bodies 21:5 Lit vesselsare consecrated 21:5 1Th 4:4even on an ordinary mission, so of course their bodies are consecrated today." 6 So the priest gave him the consecrated bread, 21:6 Mt 12:3–4; Mk 2:25for there was no bread there except the Bread of the Presence 21:6 Lv 24:5–9that had been removed from the presence of the Lord. When the bread was removed, it had been replaced with warm bread.
7 One of Saul’s servants, detained before the Lord, was there that day. His name was Doegthe Edomite, 21:7 1Sm 22:9; Ps 52 titlechief of Saul’s shepherds.
8 Davidsaid to Ahimelech, "Do you have a spear or sword on hand? I didn’t even bring my sword or my weapons since the king’s mission was urgent."
9 The priest replied, "The sword of Goliaththe Philistine, 21:9 1Sm 17:51whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, is here, wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want to take it for yourself, then take it, for there isn’t another one here."
"There’s none like it! " Davidsaid. "Give it to me."
David Flees to Gath
10 Davidfled that day from Saul’s presence and went to King Achishof Gath. 21:10 Ps 56 title11 But Achish’s servants said to him, "Isn’t this David, the king of the land? Don’t they sing about him during their dances:
Saulhas killed his thousands,
but Davidhis tens of thousands? " 21:11 1Sm 18:7; 29:5
12 Davidtook this to heart and became very afraid of King Achishof Gath, 13 so he pretended to be insane in their presence. 21:13 Ps 34 titleHe acted like a madman around them, 21:13 Lit madman in their handscribbling 21:13 LXX reads drummingon the doors of the city gate and letting saliva run down his beard.
14 "Look! You can see the man is crazy," Achishsaid to his servants. "Why did you bring him to me? 15 Do I have such a shortage of crazy people that you brought this one to act crazy around me? Is this one going to come into my house? " 21:13–15 Ps 34 title
