Read Bible Book Of 1 Samuel Chapter 21 In Online
1 - David Went To Nob, To Ahimelech The Priest. Ahimelech Trembled When He Met Him, And Asked, "Why Are You Alone? Why Is No One With You?"
2 - David Answered Ahimelech The Priest, "The King Charged Me With A Certain Matter And Said To Me, 'No One Is To Know Anything About Your Mission And Your Instructions.' As For My Men, I Have Told Them To Meet Me At A Certain Place.
4 - But The Priest Answered David, "I Don't Have Any Ordinary Bread On Hand; However, There Is Some Consecrated Bread Here-provided The Men Have Kept Themselves From Women."
5 - David Replied, "Indeed Women Have Been Kept From Us, As Usual Whenever I Set Out. The Men's Things Are Holy Even On Missions That Are Not Holy. How Much More So Today!"
6 - So The Priest Gave Him The Consecrated Bread, Since There Was No Bread There Except The Bread Of The Presence That Had Been Removed From Before The Lord And Replaced By Hot Bread On The Day It Was Taken Away.
7 - Now One Of Saul's Servants Was There That Day, Detained Before The Lord ; He Was Doeg The Edomite, Saul's Head Shepherd.
8 - David Asked Ahimelech, "Don't You Have A Spear Or A Sword Here? I Haven't Brought My Sword Or Any Other Weapon, Because The King's Business Was Urgent."
9 - The Priest Replied, "The Sword Of Goliath The Philistine, Whom You Killed In The Valley Of Elah, Is Here; It Is Wrapped In A Cloth Behind The Ephod. If You Want It, Take It; There Is No Sword Here But That One." David Said, "There Is None Like It; Give It To Me."
11 - But The Servants Of Achish Said To Him, "Isn't This David, The King Of The Land? Isn't He The One They Sing About In Their Dances: " 'Saul Has Slain His Thousands, And David His Tens Of Thousands'?"
13 - So He Pretended To Be Insane In Their Presence; And While He Was In Their Hands He Acted Like A Madman, Making Marks On The Doors Of The Gate And Letting Saliva Run Down His Beard.
15 - Am I So Short Of Madmen That You Have To Bring This Fellow Here To Carry On Like This In Front Of Me? Must This Man Come Into My House?"
