1 Samuel 21:1--22:23

Then came
<0935> (8799)

David
<01732>

to Nob
<05011>

to Ahimelech
<0288>

the priest
<03548>_:

and Ahimelech
<0288>

was afraid
<02729> (8799)

at the meeting
<07125> (8800)

of David
<01732>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Why [art] thou alone, and no man
<0376>

with thee? {Ahimelech: also called Ahiah}

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Ahimelech
<0288>

the priest
<03548>_,

The king
<04428>

hath commanded
<06680> (8765)

me a business
<01697>_,

and hath said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Let no man
<0376>

know
<03045> (8799)

any thing
<03972>

of the business
<01697>

whereabout I send
<07971> (8802)

thee, and what I have commanded
<06680> (8765)

thee: and I have appointed
<03045> (8776)

[my] servants
<05288>

to such
<06423>

and such
<0492>

a place
<04725>_.

Now therefore what is
<03426>

under thine hand
<03027>_?

give
<05414> (8798)

[me] five
<02568>

[loaves of] bread
<03899>

in mine hand
<03027>_,

or what there is present
<04672> (8737)_.

{present: Heb. found}

And the priest
<03548>

answered
<06030> (8799)

David
<01732>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

[There is] no common
<02455>

bread
<03899>

under mine hand
<03027>_,

but there is
<03426>

hallowed
<06944>

bread
<03899>_;

if the young men
<05288>

have kept
<08104> (8738)

themselves at least
<0389>

from women
<0802>_.

And David
<01732>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the priest
<03548>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Of a truth
<0518>

women
<0802>

[have been] kept
<06113> (8803)

from us about these three
<08032>

days
<08543>_,

since I came out
<03318> (8800)_,

and the vessels
<03627>

of the young men
<05288>

are holy
<06944>_,

and [the bread is] in a manner
<01870>

common
<02455>_,

yea, though it were sanctified
<06942> (8799)

this day
<03117>

in the vessel
<03627>_.

{yea...: or, especially when this day there is other sanctified in the vessel}

So the priest
<03548>

gave
<05414> (8799)

him hallowed
<06944>

[bread]: for there was no bread
<03899>

there but the shewbread
<03899> <06440>_,

that was taken
<05493> (8716)

from before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_,

to put
<07760> (8800)

hot
<02527>

bread
<03899>

in the day
<03117>

when it was taken away
<03947> (8736)_.

Now a certain man
<0376>

of the servants
<05650>

of Saul
<07586>

[was] there that day
<03117>_,

detained
<06113> (8737)

before
<06440>

the LORD
<03068>_;

and his name
<08034>

[was] Doeg
<01673>_,

an Edomite
<0130>_,

the chiefest
<047>

of the herdmen
<07462> (8802)

that [belonged] to Saul
<07586>_.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Ahimelech
<0288>_,

And is there
<03426>

not
<0371>

here under thine hand
<03027>

spear
<02595>

or sword
<02719>_?

for I have neither brought
<03947> (8804)

my sword
<02719>

nor my weapons
<03627>

with me
<03027>_,

because the king's
<04428>

business
<01697>

required
<01961> (8804)

haste
<05169> (8803)_.

And the priest
<03548>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

The sword
<02719>

of Goliath
<01555>

the Philistine
<06430>_,

whom thou slewest
<05221> (8689)

in the valley
<06010>

of Elah
<0425>_,

behold, it [is here] wrapped
<03874> (8803)

in a cloth
<08071>

behind
<0310>

the ephod
<0646>_:

if thou wilt take
<03947> (8799)

that, take
<03947> (8798)

[it]: for [there is] no other
<0312>

save
<02108>

that here
<02088>_.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[There is] none like that; give
<05414> (8798)

it me.

And David
<01732>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and fled
<01272> (8799)

that day
<03117>

for fear
<06440>

of Saul
<07586>_,

and went
<0935> (8799)

to Achish
<0397>

the king
<04428>

of Gath
<01661>_.

And the servants
<05650>

of Achish
<0397>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, [Is] not this David
<01732>

the king
<04428>

of the land
<0776>_?

did they not sing
<06030> (8799)

one to another of him
<02088>

in dances
<04246>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Saul
<07586>

hath slain
<05221> (8689)

his thousands
<0505>_,

and David
<01732>

his ten thousands
<07233>_?

And David
<01732>

laid up
<07760> (8799)

these words
<01697>

in his heart
<03824>_,

and was sore
<03966>

afraid
<03372> (8799)

of
<06440>

Achish
<0397>

the king
<04428>

of Gath
<01661>_.

And he changed
<08138> (8762)

his behaviour
<02940>

before
<05869>

them, and feigned himself mad
<01984> (8704)

in their hands
<03027>_,

and scrabbled
<08427> (8762)

on the doors
<01817>

of the gate
<08179>_,

and let his spittle
<07388>

fall down
<03381> (8686)

upon his beard
<02206>_.

{scrabbled: or, made marks}

Then said
<0559> (8799)

Achish
<0397>

unto his servants
<05650>_,

Lo, ye see
<07200> (8799)

the man
<0376>

is mad
<07696> (8693)_:

wherefore [then] have ye brought
<0935> (8686)

him to me? {is mad: or, playeth the mad man}

Have I need
<02638>

of mad men
<07696> (8794)_,

that ye have brought
<0935> (8689)

this [fellow] to play the mad man
<07696> (8692)

in my presence? shall this [fellow] come
<0935> (8799)

into my house
<01004>_?

David
<01732>

therefore departed
<03212> (8799)

thence, and escaped
<04422> (8735)

to the cave
<04631>

Adullam
<05725>_:

and when his brethren
<0251>

and all his father's
<01>

house
<01004>

heard
<08085> (8799)

[it], they went down
<03381> (8799)

thither to him.

And every one
<0376>

[that was] in distress
<04689>_,

and every one
<0376>

that [was] in debt
<05378> (8801)_,

and every one
<0376>

[that was] discontented
<04751> <05315>_,

gathered
<06908> (8691)

themselves unto him; and he became a captain
<08269>

over them: and there were with him about four
<0702>

hundred
<03967>

men
<0376>_.

{was in debt: Heb. had a creditor} {discontented: Heb. bitter of soul}

And David
<01732>

went
<03212> (8799)

thence to Mizpeh
<04708>

of Moab
<04124>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>_,

Let my father
<01>

and my mother
<0517>_,

I pray thee, come forth
<03318> (8799)_,

[and be] with you, till I know
<03045> (8799)

what God
<0430>

will do
<06213> (8799)

for me.

And he brought
<05148> (8686)

them before
<06440>

the king
<04428>

of Moab
<04124>_:

and they dwelt
<03427> (8799)

with him all the while
<03117>

that David
<01732>

was in the hold
<04686>_.

And the prophet
<05030>

Gad
<01410>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto David
<01732>_,

Abide
<03427> (8799)

not in the hold
<04686>_;

depart
<03212> (8798)_,

and get
<0935> (8804)

thee into the land
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>_.

Then David
<01732>

departed
<03212> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

into the forest
<03293>

of Hareth
<02802>_.

When Saul
<07586>

heard
<08085> (8799)

that David
<01732>

was discovered
<03045> (8738)_,

and the men
<0582>

that [were] with him, (now Saul
<07586>

abode
<03427> (8802)

in Gibeah
<01390>

under a tree
<0815>

in Ramah
<07414>_,

having his spear
<02595>

in his hand
<03027>_,

and all his servants
<05650>

[were] standing
<05324> (8737)

about him;) {tree...: or, grove in a high place}

Then Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto his servants
<05650>

that stood
<05324> (8737)

about him, Hear now
<08085> (8798)_,

ye Benjamites
<01145>_;

will the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>

give
<05414> (8799)

every one of you fields
<07704>

and vineyards
<03754>_,

[and] make
<07760> (8799)

you all captains
<08269>

of thousands
<0505>_,

and captains
<08269>

of hundreds
<03967>_;

That all of you have conspired
<07194> (8804)

against me, and [there is] none that sheweth
<01540> (8802) <0241>

me that my son
<01121>

hath made a league
<03772> (8800)

with the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>_,

and [there is] none of you that is sorry
<02470> (8802)

for me, or sheweth
<01540> (8802) <0241>

unto me that my son
<01121>

hath stirred up
<06965> (8689)

my servant
<05650>

against me, to lie in wait
<0693> (8802)_,

as at this day
<03117>_?

{sheweth...: Heb. uncovereth mine ear}

Then answered
<06030> (8799)

Doeg
<01673>

the Edomite
<0130>_,

which was set
<05324> (8737)

over the servants
<05650>

of Saul
<07586>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I saw
<07200> (8804)

the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>

coming
<0935> (8802)

to Nob
<05011>_,

to Ahimelech
<0288>

the son
<01121>

of Ahitub
<0285>_.

And he enquired
<07592> (8799)

of the LORD
<03068>

for him, and gave
<05414> (8804)

him victuals
<06720>_,

and gave
<05414> (8804)

him the sword
<02719>

of Goliath
<01555>

the Philistine
<06430>_.

Then the king
<04428>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to call
<07121> (8800)

Ahimelech
<0288>

the priest
<03548>_,

the son
<01121>

of Ahitub
<0285>_,

and all his father's
<01>

house
<01004>_,

the priests
<03548>

that [were] in Nob
<05011>_:

and they came
<0935> (8799)

all of them to the king
<04428>_.

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hear
<08085> (8798)

now, thou son
<01121>

of Ahitub
<0285>_.

And he answered
<0559> (8799)_,

Here I [am], my lord
<0113>_.

{Here...: Heb. Behold me}

And Saul
<07586>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto him, Why have ye conspired
<07194> (8804)

against me, thou and the son
<01121>

of Jesse
<03448>_,

in that thou hast given
<05414> (8800)

him bread
<03899>_,

and a sword
<02719>_,

and hast enquired
<07592> (8800)

of God
<0430>

for him, that he should rise
<06965> (8800)

against me, to lie in wait
<0693> (8802)_,

as at this day
<03117>_?

Then Ahimelech
<0288>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the king
<04428>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

And who [is so] faithful
<0539> (8737)

among all thy servants
<05650>

as David
<01732>_,

which is the king's
<04428>

son in law
<02860>_,

and goeth
<05493> (8804)

at thy bidding
<04928>_,

and is honourable
<03513> (8737)

in thine house
<01004>_?

Did I then
<03117>

begin
<02490> (8689)

to enquire
<07592> (8800)

of God
<0430>

for him? be it far from me
<02486>_:

let not the king
<04428>

impute
<07760> (8799)

[any] thing
<01697>

unto his servant
<05650>_,

[nor] to all the house
<01004>

of my father
<01>_:

for thy servant
<05650>

knew
<03045> (8804)

nothing
<01697>

of all this, less
<06996>

or more
<01419>_.

{less...: Heb. little or great}

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thou shalt surely
<04191> (8800)

die
<04191> (8799)_,

Ahimelech
<0288>_,

thou, and all thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>_.

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto the footmen
<07323> (8801)

that stood
<05324> (8737)

about him, Turn
<05437> (8798)_,

and slay
<04191> (8685)

the priests
<03548>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

because their hand
<03027>

also [is] with David
<01732>_,

and because they knew
<03045> (8804)

when he fled
<01272> (8802)_,

and did not shew
<01540> (8804) <0241>

it to me. But the servants
<05650>

of the king
<04428>

would
<014> (8804)

not put forth
<07971> (8800)

their hand
<03027>

to fall
<06293> (8800)

upon the priests
<03548>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{footmen: or, guard: Heb. runners}

And the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

to Doeg
<01673>_,

Turn
<05437> (8798)

thou, and fall
<06293> (8798)

upon the priests
<03548>_.

And Doeg
<01673>

the Edomite
<0130>

turned
<05437> (8735)_,

and he fell
<06293> (8799)

upon the priests
<03548>_,

and slew
<04191> (8686)

on that day
<03117>

fourscore
<08084>

and five
<02568>

persons
<0376>

that did wear
<05375> (8802)

a linen
<0906>

ephod
<0646>_.

And Nob
<05011>_,

the city
<05892>

of the priests
<03548>_,

smote
<05221> (8689)

he with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_,

both men
<0376>

and women
<0802>_,

children
<05768>

and sucklings
<03243> (8802)_,

and oxen
<07794>_,

and asses
<02543>_,

and sheep
<07716>_,

with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_.

And one
<0259>

of the sons
<01121>

of Ahimelech
<0288>

the son
<01121>

of Ahitub
<0285>_,

named
<08034>

Abiathar
<054>_,

escaped
<04422> (8735)_,

and fled
<01272> (8799)

after
<0310>

David
<01732>_.

And Abiathar
<054>

shewed
<05046> (8686)

David
<01732>

that Saul
<07586>

had slain
<02026> (8804)

the LORD'S
<03068>

priests
<03548>_.

And David
<01732>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Abiathar
<054>_,

I knew
<03045> (8804)

[it] that day
<03117>_,

when Doeg
<01673>

the Edomite
<0130>

[was] there, that he would surely
<05046> (8687)

tell
<05046> (8686)

Saul
<07586>_:

I have occasioned
<05437> (8804)

[the death] of all the persons
<05315>

of thy father's
<01>

house
<01004>_.

Abide
<03427> (8798)

thou with me, fear
<03372> (8799)

not: for he that seeketh
<01245> (8762)

my life
<05315>

seeketh
<01245> (8762)

thy life
<05315>_:

but with me thou [shalt be] in safeguard
<04931>_.
