1 Samuel

  • Ahimelech Helps David

  • |1 Samuel 21:1| n David went to see Ahimelech, a priest who lived in the town of Nob. Ahimelech was trembling with fear as he came out to meet David. “Why are you alone?” Ahimelech asked. “Why isn't anyone else with you?”

  • |1 Samuel 21:2| “I'm on a mission for King Saul,” David answered. “He ordered me not to tell anyone what the mission is all about, so I ordered my soldiers to stay somewhere else.

  • |1 Samuel 21:3| Do you have any food you can give me? Could you spare five loaves of bread?”

  • |1 Samuel 21:4| “The only bread I have is the sacred bread,” the priest told David. “You can have it if your soldiers didn't sleep with women last night.” 134

  • |1 Samuel 21:5| “Of course we didn't sleep with women,” David answered. “I never let my men do that when we're on a mission. They have to be acceptable to worship God even when we're on a regular mission, and today we're on a special mission.”

  • |1 Samuel 21:6| o The only bread the priest had was the sacred bread that he had taken from the place of worship after putting out the fresh loaves. So he gave it to David.

  • |1 Samuel 21:7| It so happened that one of Saul's officers was there, worshiping the LORD that day. His name was Doeg the Edomite, 135 and he was the strongest of 136 Saul's shepherds.

  • |1 Samuel 21:8| David asked Ahimelech, “Do you have a spear or a sword? I had to leave so quickly on this mission for the king that I didn't bring along my sword or any other weapons.”

  • |1 Samuel 21:9| p The priest answered, “The only sword here is the one that belonged to Goliath the Philistine. You were the one who killed him in Elah Valley, and so you can take his sword if you want to. It's wrapped in a cloth behind the statue.” “It's the best sword there is,” David said. “I'll take it!”
