1 Then came [0935] David [01732] to Nob [05011] to Ahimelech [0288] the priest [03548]: and Ahimelech [0288] was afraid [02729] at the meeting [07125] of David [01732], and said [0559] unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man [0376] with thee?
2 And David [01732] said [0559] unto Ahimelech [0288] the priest [03548], The king [04428] hath commanded [06680] me a business [01697], and hath said [0559] unto me, Let no man [0376] know [03045] any thing [03972] of the business [01697] whereabout I send [07971] thee, and what I have commanded [06680] thee: and I have appointed [03045] my servants [05288] to such [06423] and such [0492] a place [04725].
3 Now therefore what is [03426] under thine hand [03027]? give [05414] me five [02568] loaves of bread [03899] in mine hand [03027], or what there is present [04672].
4 And the priest [03548] answered [06030] David [01732], and said [0559], There is no common [02455] bread [03899] under mine hand [03027], but there is [03426] hallowed [06944] bread [03899]; if the young men [05288] have kept [08104] themselves at least [0389] from women [0802].
5 And David [01732] answered [06030] the priest [03548], and said [0559] unto him, Of a truth [0518] women [0802] have been kept [06113] from us about these three [08032] days [08543], since I came out [03318], and the vessels [03627] of the young men [05288] are holy [06944], and the bread is in a manner [01870] common [02455], yea, though it were sanctified [06942] this day [03117] in the vessel [03627].
6 So the priest [03548] gave [05414] him hallowed [06944] bread: for there was no bread [03899] there but the shewbread [03899] [06440], that was taken [05493] from before [06440] the LORD [03068], to put [07760] hot [02527] bread [03899] in the day [03117] when it was taken away [03947].
7 Now a certain man [0376] of the servants [05650] of Saul [07586] was there that day [03117], detained [06113] before [06440] the LORD [03068]; and his name [08034] was Doeg [01673], an Edomite [0130], the chiefest [047] of the herdmen [07462] that belonged to Saul [07586].
8 And David [01732] said [0559] unto Ahimelech [0288], And is there [03426] not [0371] here under thine hand [03027] spear [02595] or sword [02719]? for I have neither brought [03947] my sword [02719] nor my weapons [03627] with me [03027], because the king's [04428] business [01697] required [01961] haste [05169].
9 And the priest [03548] said [0559], The sword [02719] of Goliath [01555] the Philistine [06430], whom thou slewest [05221] in the valley [06010] of Elah [0425], behold, it is here wrapped [03874] in a cloth [08071] behind [0310] the ephod [0646]: if thou wilt take [03947] that, take [03947] it: for there is no other [0312] save [02108] that here [02088]. And David [01732] said [0559], There is none like that; give [05414] it me.
10 And David [01732] arose [06965], and fled [01272] that day [03117] for fear [06440] of Saul [07586], and went [0935] to Achish [0397] the king [04428] of Gath [01661].
11 And the servants [05650] of Achish [0397] said [0559] unto him, Is not this David [01732] the king [04428] of the land [0776]? did they not sing [06030] one to another of him [02088] in dances [04246], saying [0559], Saul [07586] hath slain [05221] his thousands [0505], and David [01732] his ten thousands [07233]?
12 And David [01732] laid up [07760] these words [01697] in his heart [03824], and was sore [03966] afraid [03372] of [06440] Achish [0397] the king [04428] of Gath [01661].
13 And he changed [08138] his behaviour [02940] before [05869] them, and feigned himself mad [01984] in their hands [03027], and scrabbled [08427] on the doors [01817] of the gate [08179], and let his spittle [07388] fall down [03381] upon his beard [02206].
14 Then said [0559] Achish [0397] unto his servants [05650], Lo, ye see [07200] the man [0376] is mad [07696]: wherefore then have ye brought [0935] him to me?
15 Have I need [02638] of mad men [07696], that ye have brought [0935] this fellow to play the mad man [07696] in my presence? shall this fellow come [0935] into my house [01004]?
1 Then came [0935] David [01732] to Nob [05011] to Ahimelech [0288] the priest [03548]: and Ahimelech [0288] was afraid [02729] at the meeting [07125] of David [01732], and said [0559] unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man [0376] with thee?
23 And as touching the matter [01697] which thou and I have spoken [01696] of, behold, the LORD [03068] be between thee and me for [05704] ever [05769].
42 And Jonathan [03083] said [0559] to David [01732], Go [03212] in peace [07965], forasmuch as we have sworn [07650] both [08147] of us in the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], saying [0559], The LORD [03068] be between me and thee, and between my seed [02233] and thy seed [02233] for [05704] ever [05769]. And he arose [06965] and departed [03212]: and Jonathan [03083] went [0935] into the city [05892].
19 And when thou hast stayed three days [08027], then thou shalt go down [03381] quickly [03966], and come [0935] to the place [04725] where thou didst hide [05641] thyself when [03117] the business [04639] was in hand, and shalt remain [03427] by [0681] the stone [068] Ezel [0237].
41 And as soon as the lad [05288] was gone [0935], David [01732] arose [06965] out of a place toward [0681] the south [05045], and fell [05307] on his face [0639] to the ground [0776], and bowed [07812] himself three [07969] times [06471]: and they kissed [05401] one [0376] another [07453], and wept [01058] one [0376] with another [07453], until David [01732] exceeded [01431].
40 And Jonathan [03083] gave [05414] his artillery [03627] unto his lad [05288], and said [0559] unto him, Go [03212], carry [0935] them to the city [05892].
39 But the lad [05288] knew [03045] not any thing [03972]: only Jonathan [03083] and David [01732] knew [03045] the matter [01697].
37 And when the lad [05288] was come [0935] to the place [04725] of the arrow [02678] which Jonathan [03083] had shot [03384], Jonathan [03083] cried [07121] after [0310] the lad [05288], and said [0559], Is not the arrow [02678] beyond [01973] thee?
37 And when the lad [05288] was come [0935] to the place [04725] of the arrow [02678] which Jonathan [03083] had shot [03384], Jonathan [03083] cried [07121] after [0310] the lad [05288], and said [0559], Is not the arrow [02678] beyond [01973] thee?
38 And Jonathan [03083] cried [07121] after [0310] the lad [05288], Make speed [04120], haste [02363], stay [05975] not. And Jonathan's [03083] lad [05288] gathered up [03950] the arrows [02671] [02678], and came [0935] to his master [0113].
39 But the lad [05288] knew [03045] not any thing [03972]: only Jonathan [03083] and David [01732] knew [03045] the matter [01697].
24 And Jehu [03058] drew a bow [07198] with his full [04390] strength [03027], and smote [05221] Jehoram [03088] between his arms [02220], and the arrow [02678] went out [03318] at his heart [03820], and he sunk down [03766] in his chariot [07393].
38 And Jonathan [03083] cried [07121] after [0310] the lad [05288], Make speed [04120], haste [02363], stay [05975] not. And Jonathan's [03083] lad [05288] gathered up [03950] the arrows [02671] [02678], and came [0935] to his master [0113].
37 And when the lad [05288] was come [0935] to the place [04725] of the arrow [02678] which Jonathan [03083] had shot [03384], Jonathan [03083] cried [07121] after [0310] the lad [05288], and said [0559], Is not the arrow [02678] beyond [01973] thee?
36 And he said [0559] unto his lad [05288], Run [07323], find out [04672] now the arrows [02671] which I shoot [03384]. And as the lad [05288] ran [07323], he shot [03384] an arrow [02678] beyond [05674] him.
36 And he said [0559] unto his lad [05288], Run [07323], find out [04672] now the arrows [02671] which I shoot [03384]. And as the lad [05288] ran [07323], he shot [03384] an arrow [02678] beyond [05674] him.
