[1]Then cameH935[H8799] DavidH1732 to NobH5011 to AhimelechH288 the priestH3548: and AhimelechH288 was afraidH2729[H8799] at the meetingH7125[H8800] of DavidH1732, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with theeH376?
[2]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto AhimelechH288 the priestH3548, The kingH4428 hath commandedH6680[H8765] me a businessH1697, and hath saidH559[H8799] unto me, Let no manH376 knowH3045[H8799] any thingH3972 of the businessH1697 whereabout I sendH7971[H8802] thee, and what I have commandedH6680[H8765] thee: and I have appointedH3045[H8776] my servantsH5288 to suchH6423 and suchH492 a placeH4725.
[3]Now therefore what isH3426 under thine handH3027? giveH5414[H8798] me fiveH2568 loaves of breadH3899 in mine handH3027, or what there is presentH4672.[H8737]
[4]And the priestH3548 answeredH6030[H8799] DavidH1732, and saidH559[H8799], There is no commonH2455 breadH3899 under mine handH3027, but there isH3426 hallowedH6944 breadH3899; if the young menH5288 have keptH8104[H8738] themselves at leastH389 from womenH802.
[5]And DavidH1732 answeredH6030[H8799] the priestH3548, and saidH559[H8799] unto him, Of a truthH518 womenH802 have been keptH6113[H8803] from us about these threeH8032 daysH8543, since I came outH3318[H8800], and the vesselsH3627 of the young menH5288 are holyH6944, and the bread is in a mannerH1870 commonH2455, yea, though it were sanctifiedH6942[H8799] this dayH3117 in the vesselH3627.
[6]So the priestH3548 gaveH5414[H8799] him hallowedH6944 bread: for there was no breadH3899 there but the shewbreadH3899[H6440], that was takenH5493[H8716] from beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to putH7760[H8800] hotH2527 breadH3899 in the dayH3117 when it was taken awayH3947.[H8736]
[7]Now a certain manH376 of the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586 was there that dayH3117, detainedH6113[H8737] beforeH6440 the LORDH3068; and his nameH8034 was DoegH1673, an EdomiteH130, the chiefestH47 of the herdmenH7462[H8802] that belonged to SaulH7586.
[8]And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799] unto AhimelechH288, And is thereH3426 notH371 here under thine handH3027 spearH2595 or swordH2719? for I have neither broughtH3947[H8804] my swordH2719 nor my weaponsH3627 with meH3027, because the king'sH4428 businessH1697 requiredH1961[H8804] hasteH5169.[H8803]
[9]And the priestH3548 saidH559[H8799], The swordH2719 of GoliathH1555 the PhilistineH6430, whom thou slewestH5221[H8689] in the valleyH6010 of ElahH425, behold, it is here wrappedH3874[H8803] in a clothH8071 behindH310 the ephodH646: if thou wilt takeH3947[H8799] that, takeH3947[H8798] it: for there is no otherH312 saveH2108 that hereH2088. And DavidH1732 saidH559[H8799], There is none like that; giveH5414 it meH8798.
[10]And DavidH1732 aroseH6965[H8799], and fledH1272[H8799] that dayH3117 for fearH6440 of SaulH7586, and wentH935[H8799] to AchishH397 the kingH4428 of GathH1661.
[11]And the servantsH5650 of AchishH397 saidH559[H8799] unto him, Is not this DavidH1732 the kingH4428 of the landH776? did they not singH6030[H8799] one to another of himH2088 in dancesH4246, sayingH559[H8800], SaulH7586 hath slainH5221[H8689] his thousandsH505, and DavidH1732 his ten thousandsH7233?
[12]And DavidH1732 laid upH7760[H8799] these wordsH1697 in his heartH3824, and was soreH3966 afraidH3372[H8799] ofH6440 AchishH397 the kingH4428 of GathH1661.
[13]And he changedH8138[H8762] his behaviourH2940 beforeH5869 them, and feigned himself madH1984[H8704] in their handsH3027, and scrabbledH8427[H8762] on the doorsH1817 of the gateH8179, and let his spittleH7388 fall downH3381[H8686] upon his beardH2206.
[14]Then saidH559[H8799] AchishH397 unto his servantsH5650, Lo, ye seeH7200[H8799] the manH376 is madH7696[H8693]: wherefore then have ye broughtH935 him to meH8686?
[15]Have I needH2638 of mad menH7696[H8794], that ye have broughtH935[H8689] this fellow to play the mad manH7696[H8692] in my presence? shall this fellow comeH935[H8799] into my houseH1004?
