1 David Flees to NobDavid came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest, and Ahimelech was trembling as he came to meet David. Ahimelech told him, “Why are you alone, and no one with you?”
2 David told Ahimelech the priest, “The king commanded me about a matter, saying to me, ‘Don’t let anyone know anything about the matter I’m sending you to do and about which I’ve commanded you. I’ve directed the young men to a certain place.’ 3 Now, what do you have available? Give me five loaves of bread or whatever you have.”
4 The priest answered David: “There is no ordinary bread available; only consecrated bread, provided that the young men have kept themselves from women.”
5 David answered the priest, saying to him, “Indeed, women were kept from us as is usual whenever I go out on a mission, and the equipment of the young men is consecrated even when it’s an ordinary journey, so how much more is their equipment consecrated today?” 6 So the priest gave him consecrated bread because no bread was there except the Bread of the Presence that had been removed from the LORD’s presence and replaced with hot bread on the day it was taken away.
7 Now, Doeg the Edomite, one of Saul’s officials, was there that day, detained in the LORD’s presence. He was the chief of Saul’s shepherds.
8David Takes Goliath’s SwordDavid told Ahimelech, “Is there no spear or sword available here? I took neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s mission is urgent.”
9 The priest said, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck down in the Valley of Elah is wrapped up in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want it, take it because there is no other except it here.”
So David said, “There is none like it. Give it to me.”
10David Flees to GathDavid got up that day and fled from Saul, and he went to King Achish of Gath.
11 The officials of Achish told him, “Isn’t this David, king of the land? Isn’t this the one about whom they sang as they danced, ‘Saul has struck down his thousands, but David his ten thousands’?”
12 David took these words seriously, and he was very frightened of King Achish of Gath. 13 So David changed his behavior before them and acted like he was crazy in their presence. He scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his saliva run down his beard. 14 Achish told his officials, “Look, you see a person acting like a madman. Why’d you bring him to me? 15 Am I lacking madmen that you bring me this one to act like a madman around me? Shall this one come into my house?”

1 To the Director: A Davidic instruction about Doeg, the Edomite, when he went to Saul and told him, “David went to the house of Abimelech.”
A Rebuke to the Deceitful Why do you make evil the foundation of your boasting, mighty one? God’s gracious love never ceases.
2 Your tongue, like a sharp razor, devises wicked things and crafts treachery.
3 You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking uprightly. Interlude
4 You love all words that destroy, you deceitful tongue!
5 But God will tear you down forever; he will take you away, even snatching you out of your tent! He will uproot you from the land of the living. Interlude
6 The righteous will fear when they see this, but then they will laugh at him, saying,
7 “Look, here is a young man who refused to make God his strength; instead, he trusted in his great wealth and made his wickedness his strength.
8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the gracious love of God forever and ever.
9 Therefore I will praise you forever because of what you did; I will proclaim that your name is good in the midst of your faithful ones.
