And David comes to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech is startled in the meeting David. And he said to him, Why you and no one you?
And David said to the priest Ahimelech, The king gave charge to me a thing today, and said to me, Let no one know anything concerning the matter for which I send you, and for what I have given charge to you. And to the servants I testified in the place, in the one being called Phalanni Alomni.
And now, if there is in your hand five bread loaves, put into my hand the thing being found.
And responded to David, and said, There are no profane bread loaves in my hand, but only If were having been kept from a woman, then they shall eat.
And David answered to the priest, and said to him, Yes, even from a woman we have been at a distance from yesterday and day before. In my coming forth for the journey have been purified; but this journey is profane, for today it shall be sanctified on account of my weapons.
And gave bread loaves of the place setting, for there was no there but only bread loaves of the presence, the loaves being removed before of the lord, to place near bread loaves in which day he took them.
And there was a certain one there of the servants of Saul in that day, being held before and to him the Edomite, feeding the mules of Saul.
And David said to Ahimelech, See if there is here under your hand a spear or broadsword! for my broadsword and my weapons I have not taken in my hand, for the matter of the king was in haste.
And said Behold, the broadsword of Goliath the Philistine whom you struck in the valley of Ela. And it is wrapped in a cloak behind the shoulder-piece. If this you take for yourself, take! for there is none other besides it here. And David said, There is none as it, give it to me!
And he gave it to him. And David rose up and fled in that day from of Saul. And David came to Achish king of Gath.
And said to him, not Is David the king of the land? Did not to this one saying, Saul struck his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
And David put these words in his heart, and feared exceedingly before of Achish king of Gath.
And he changed his countenance before them. And carried about with his hands, and fell upon the doors of the gateway, and his saliva flowed down upon his beard.
And Achish said to his servants, Behold, you see a man overcome by convulsions! Why did you bring him to me?
Or do feel a want that you carry him being possessed unto me? Shall this one enter into my house, no.
