00:00.000 --> 00:04.880
Chapter 21 Then came David to Nob,
to Ahimelech the priest.

00:05.120 --> 00:09.000
And Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of
David, and said unto him, Why art thou

00:09.000 --> 00:10.520
alone, and no man with thee?

00:10.860 --> 00:14.520
And David said unto Ahimelech the priest,
The king hath commanded me a business,

00:15.060 --> 00:19.300
and hath said unto me, Let no man know
anything of the business whereabout I send

00:19.300 --> 00:21.020
thee, and what I have commanded thee.

00:21.660 --> 00:24.220
And I have appointed my servants to such
and such a place.

00:25.100 --> 00:27.000
Now therefore, what is under thine hand?

00:27.640 --> 00:30.860
Give me five loaves of bread in mine hand,
or what there is present.

00:31.300 --> 00:34.960
And the priest answered David,
and said, There is no common bread under

00:34.960 --> 00:40.600
mine hand, but there is hallowed bread,
if the young men have kept themselves at

00:40.600 --> 00:41.460
least from women.

00:41.700 --> 00:44.280
And David answered the priest,
and said unto him, Of a truth,

00:44.520 --> 00:48.300
women have been kept from us about these
three days, since I came out, and the

00:48.300 --> 00:51.620
vessels of the young men are holy,
and the bread is in a manner common,

00:52.080 --> 00:55.100
yea, though it were sanctified this day in
the vessel.

00:55.100 --> 00:58.760
So the priest gave him hallowed bread,
for there was no bread there but the

00:58.760 --> 01:02.340
showbread, that was taken from before the
Lord, to put hot bread in the day when it

01:02.340 --> 01:03.000
was taken away.

01:03.860 --> 01:07.900
Now a certain man of the servants of Saul
was there that day, detained before the

01:07.900 --> 01:12.460
Lord, and his name was Doeg, an Edomite,
the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged

01:12.460 --> 01:12.960
to Saul.

01:13.820 --> 01:17.000
And David said unto Ahimelech,
And is there not here under thine hand

01:17.000 --> 01:18.060
spear or sword?

01:19.040 --> 01:22.620
For I have neither brought my sword nor my
weapons with me, because the king's

01:22.620 --> 01:23.740
business required haste.

01:23.740 --> 01:29.140
And the priest said, The sword of Goliath
the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the

01:29.140 --> 01:34.400
valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped
in a cloth behind the ephod.

01:35.000 --> 01:39.920
If thou wilt take that, take it,
for there is no other save that here.

01:40.260 --> 01:42.700
And David said, There is none like that.

01:43.520 --> 01:43.980
Give it me.

01:44.360 --> 01:48.660
And David arose and fled that day for fear
of Saul, and went to Achish the king of

01:48.660 --> 01:49.020
Gath.

01:49.460 --> 01:54.040
And the servants of Achish said unto him,
Is not this David the king of the land?

01:54.760 --> 01:59.840
Did they not sing one to another of him in
dances, saying, Saul hath slain his

01:59.840 --> 02:02.540
thousands, and David his ten thousands?

02:03.040 --> 02:06.500
And David laid up these words in his
heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the

02:06.500 --> 02:07.100
king of Gath.

02:07.580 --> 02:11.540
And he changed his behavior before them,
and feigned himself mad in their hands,

02:11.800 --> 02:15.000
and scrabbled on the doors of the gate,
and let his spittle fall down upon his

02:15.000 --> 02:15.280
beard.

02:16.020 --> 02:20.140
Then said Achish unto his servants,
Lo, ye see the man is mad.

02:20.140 --> 02:23.000
Wherefore then have ye brought him to me?

02:23.820 --> 02:29.100
Have I need of mad men, that ye have
brought this fellow to play the mad man in

02:29.100 --> 02:29.800
my presence?

02:30.980 --> 02:33.500
Shall this fellow come into my house?
