1 Samuel 21:1-7

1Then cameH935 DavidH1732 to NobH5011 to AhimelechH288 the priestH3548: and AhimelechH288 was afraidH2729 at the meetingH7125 of DavidH1732, and saidH559 unto him, Why art thou alone, and no manH376 with thee?1

2And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto AhimelechH288 the priestH3548, The kingH4428 hath commandedH6680 me a businessH1697, and hath saidH559 unto me, Let no manH376 knowH3045 any thingH3972 of the businessH1697 whereabout I sendH7971 thee, and what I have commandedH6680 thee: and I have appointedH3045 my servantsH5288 to suchH6423 and suchH492 a placeH4725.

3Now therefore what isH3426 under thine handH3027? giveH5414 me fiveH2568 loaves of breadH3899 in mine handH3027, or what there is presentH4672.2

4And the priestH3548 answeredH6030 DavidH1732, and saidH559, There is no commonH2455 breadH3899 under mine handH3027, but there isH3426 hallowedH6944 breadH3899; if the young menH5288 have keptH8104 themselves at leastH389 from womenH802.

5And DavidH1732 answeredH6030 the priestH3548, and saidH559 unto him, Of a truthH518 womenH802 have been keptH6113 from us about these threeH8032 daysH8543, since I came outH3318, and the vesselsH3627 of the young menH5288 are holyH6944, and the bread is in a mannerH1870 commonH2455, yea, though it were sanctifiedH6942 this dayH3117 in the vesselH3627.3

6So the priestH3548 gaveH5414 him hallowedH6944 bread: for there was no breadH3899 there but the shewbreadH6440H3899, that was takenH5493 from beforeH6440 YhwhH3068, to putH7760 hotH2527 breadH3899 in the dayH3117 when it was taken awayH3947.

7Now a certain manH376 of the servantsH5650 of SaulH7586 was there that dayH3117, detainedH6113 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068; and his nameH8034 was DoegH1673, an EdomiteH130, the chiefestH47 of the herdmenH7462 that belonged to SaulH7586.
