Chapter 21
Then
came
Dauid
to
Nob,
to
Ahimelech
the
Priest,
and
Ahimelech
was
afraide
at
the
meeting
of
Dauid,
and
said
vnto
him,
Why
art
thou
alone,
and
no
man
with
thee?
2
And
Dauid
said
vnto
Ahimelech
the
Priest,
The
king
hath
commanded
me
a
businesse,
and
hath
said
vnto
me,
Let
no
man
know
any
thing
of
the
businesse
whereabout
I
send
thee,
and
what
I
haue
commanded
thee:
and
I
haue
appointed
my
seruants
to
such
and
such
a
place.
3
Now
therefore
what
is
vnder
thine
hand?
giue
me
fiue
loaues
of
bread
in
mine
hand,
or
what
there
is
present.
4
And
the
Priest
answered
Dauid,
and
said,
There
is
no
common
bread
vnder
mine
hand,
but
there
is
hallowed
bread:
if
the
young
men
haue
kept
themselues
at
least
from
women.
5
And
Dauid
answered
the
Priest,
and
said
vnto
him,
Of
a
trueth
women
haue
beene
kept
from
vs
about
these
three
dayes,
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
vessell.
6
So
the
Priest
gaue
him
hallowed
bread;
for
there
was
no
bread
there,
but
the
Shewbread
that
was
taken
from
before
the
Lord,
to
put
hote
bread
in
the
day
when
it
was
taken
away.
7
Now
a
certaine
man
of
the
seruants
of
Saul
was
there
that
day,
detained
before
the
Lord,
and
his
name
was
Doeg
an
Edomite,
the
chiefest
of
the
heardmen
that
belonged
to
Saul.
8
And
Dauid
said
vnto
Ahimelech,
And
is
there
not
here
vnder
thine
hand
speare
or
sword?
for
I
haue
neither
brought
my
sword
nor
my
weapons
with
mee,
because
the
kings
businesse
required
haste.
9
And
the
Priest
said,
The
sword
of
Goliath
the
Philistine,
whome
thou
slewest
in
the
valley
of
Elah,
behold,
it
is
heere
wrapt
in
a
cloth
behinde
the
Ephod:
if
thou
wilt
take
that,
take
it;
for
there
is
no
other
saue
that,
here.
And
dauid
saide,
There
is
none
like
that,
giue
it
me.
10
And
Dauid
arose,
and
fled
that
day,
for
feare
of
Saul,
and
went
to
Achish,
the
king
of
Gath.
11
And
the
seruants
of
Achish
sayd
vnto
him,
Is
not
this
Dauid
the
king
of
the
land?
Did
they
not
sing
one
to
another
of
him
in
daunces,
saying,
Saul
hath
slaine
his
thousands,
and
Dauid
his
ten
thousands?
12
And
Dauid
layd
vp
these
wordes
in
his
heart,
and
was
sore
afraid
of
Achish
the
king
of
Gath.
13
And
he
changed
his
behauiour
before
them,
and
fained
himselfe
mad
in
their
hands,
and
scrabled
on
the
doores
of
the
gate,
and
let
his
spittle
fall
downe
vpon
his
beard.
14
Then
saide
Achish
vnto
his
seruants,
Loe,
you
see
the
man
is
mad:
wherefore
then
haue
yee
brought
him
to
mee?
15
Haue
I
need
of
mad-men,
that
ye
haue
brought
this
fellow
to
play
the
mad-man
in
my
presence?
Shall
this
fellow
come
into
my
house?
