A Novel of King David
David in 1 Samuel 21
(1 Samuel 21:1) And David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech
was afraid at the meeting of David, and said to him, Why are you alone, and no
man with you?
(1 Samuel 21:2) And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has commanded
me a business and has said to me, Let no man know anything of the business about
which I send you, and what I have sent you. And I have sent servants to such and
such a place.
(1 Samuel 21:3) And therefore, what is under your hand? Give five loaves of
bread in my hand, or what there is to be found.
(1 Samuel 21:4) And the priest answered David and said, There is no common bread
under my hand, but there is holy bread if the young men have kept themselves at
least from women.
(1 Samuel 21:5) And David answered the priest and said to him, Truly women have
been kept from us for about three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the
young men are holy, and in a way the holy bread is common. Also surely today it
is sanctified in the vessels.
(1 Samuel 21:6) And the priest gave him holy bread. For there was no bread there
but the Bread of the Presence that was taken from before Jehovah, in order to
put hot bread in on the day when it was taken away.
(1 Samuel 21:7) And a man from the servants of Saul was there that day, held
before Jehovah. And his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of Saul's herdsmen.
(1 Samuel 21:8) And David said to Ahimelech, And is there not here under your
hand spear or sword? For I have not brought my sword nor my weapons with me,
because the king's business needed haste.
(1 Samuel 21:9) And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom
you killed in the valley of Elah, behold, it is wrapped in a cloth under the
ephod, if you will take, take it for yourself, for there is no other here except
that one. And David said, There is none like that. Give it to me.
(1 Samuel 21:10) And David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to
Achish the king of Gath.
(1 Samuel 21:11) And the servants of Achish said to him, Is not this David the
king of the land? Did they not sing to one another of him in dances, saying,
Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?
(1 Samuel 21:12) And David laid up these words in his heart, and was very much
afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
(1 Samuel 21:13) And he changed his behavior before them, and pretended himself
to be mad in their hands, and marked on the doors of the gate and let his
spittle fall down on his beard.
(1 Samuel 21:14) Then Achish said to his servants, Lo, you see the man is mad.
Why have you brought him to me?
(1 Samuel 21:15) Do I have need of mad men, that you have brought this one to
show madness in my presence? Shall this one come into my house?
