1 Samuel 21:1 (KJV) King James Version

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?
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.
3 Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
10 And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
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?
12 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
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.
14 Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me?
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?
1 Then came H935 VQPMS David H1732 to Nob H5011 to H413 Ahimelech H288 the priest H3548 : and Ahimelech H288 was afraid H2729 at the meeting H7125 of David H1732 , and said H559 unto him , Why H4069 art thou H859 alone H905 , and no H369 man H376 with H854 thee ?
2 And David H1732 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto Ahimelech H288 the priest H3548 , The king H4428 hath commanded H6680 me a business H1697 , and hath said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP me , Let no H408 man H376 W-NMS know H3045 any thing H3972 of the business H1697 whereabout H834 I H595 send H7971 thee , and what H834 I have commanded H6680 thee : and I have appointed H3045 my servants H5288 to H413 PREP such H6423 and such H492 a place H4725 .
3 Now H6258 therefore what H4100 is H3426 under H8478 thine hand H3027 ? give H5414 me five H2568 loaves of bread H3899 in mine hand H3027 , or H176 what there is present H4672 .
4 And the priest H3548 answered H6030 David H1732 , and said H559 , There is no H369 common H2455 bread H3899 NMS under H413 mine hand H3027 CFS-2MS , but H518 there is H3426 hallowed H6944 bread H3899 NMS ; if H518 the young men H5288 have kept themselves H8104 at least H389 from women H802 .
5 And David H1732 MMS answered H6030 W-VQY3MS the priest H3548 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , Of PART a truth women H802 have been kept H6113 from us about these three H8032 days H8543 , since I came out H3318 , and the vessels H3627 of the young men H5288 D-NMP are holy H6944 , and the bread is in a manner H1870 common H2455 , yea H637 , though H3588 CONJ it were sanctified H6942 this day H3117 in the vessel H3627 .
6 So the priest H3548 gave H5414 him hallowed H6944 bread : for H3588 CONJ there was H1961 W-VQY3MP no H3808 bread H3899 there H8033 but H518 PART the shewbread H3899 , that was taken H5493 from before H6440 the LORD H3068 , to put H7760 hot H2527 bread H3899 in the day H3117 D-AMS when it was taken away H3947 .
7 Now a certain man H376 of the servants H5650 of Saul H7586 was there H8033 ADV that H1931 day H3117 B-NMS , detained H6113 before H6440 the LORD H3068 EDS ; and his name H8034 was Doeg H1673 , an Edomite H130 , the chiefest H47 of the herdsmen H7462 that H834 belonged to Saul H7586 .
8 And David H1732 said H559 unto Ahimelech H288 , And is there H3426 not H371 here H6311 under H8478 thine hand H3027 spear H2595 or H176 sword H2719 ? for H3588 I have neither H1571 brought H3947 my sword H2719 nor H1571 my weapons H3627 with H3027 me , because H3588 the king H4428 \'s business H1697 required H1961 haste H5169 .
9 And the priest H3548 said H559 W-VQY3MS , The sword H2719 NFS of Goliath H1555 the Philistine H6430 , whom H834 thou slewest H5221 in the valley H6010 of Elah H425 , behold H2009 , it H1931 is here wrapped H3874 in a cloth H8071 behind H310 the ephod H646 : if H518 thou wilt take H3947 that , take H3947 it : for H3588 CONJ there is no H369 other H312 save H2108 that here H2088 . And David H1732 MMS said H559 W-VQY3MS , There is none H369 like that ; give H5414 it me .
10 And David H1732 MMS arose H6965 , and fled H1272 that H1931 PPRO-3FS day H3117 for fear of Saul H7586 , and went H935 to H413 Achish H397 the king H4428 of Gath H1661 .
11 And the servants H5650 of Achish H397 said H559 unto H413 PREP him , Is not H3808 this H2088 David H1732 MMS the king H4428 NMS of the land H776 ? did they not H3808 sing one to another H6030 of him H2088 in dances H4246 , saying H559 , Saul H7586 hath slain H5221 his thousands H505 , and David H1732 MMS his ten thousands H7233 ?
12 And David H1732 laid up H7760 these H428 words H1697 in his heart H3824 , and was sore H3966 afraid H3372 of Achish H397 the king H4428 NMS of Gath H1661 .
13 And he changed H8138 his behavior H2940 before H5869 them , and feigned himself mad H1984 in their hands H3027 , and scrabbled H8427 on H5921 the doors H1817 of the gate H8179 , and let his spittle H7388 fall down H3381 upon H413 his beard H2206 .
14 Then said H559 Achish H397 unto H413 PREP his servants H5650 , Lo H2009 , ye see H7200 the man H376 is mad H7696 : wherefore H4100 then have ye brought H935 him to H413 PREP me ?
