David Takes Consecrated Bread

1 Then David came to 1Nob to Ahimelech the priest; and Ahimelech 2came trembling to meet David and said to him, "Why are you alone and no one with you?"
2 David said to Ahimelech the priest, "The king has commissioned me with a matter and has said to me, '3Let no one know anything about the matter on which I am sending you and with which I have commissioned you; and I have directed the young men to a certain * place.'

INTRODUCTION TO FIRST SAMUEL 21

This chapter relates that David went to Nob, and pretending he was on secret business for the king, got shewbread, and the sword of Goliath, from Ahimelech the priest, 1Sa 21:1-9; and that passing from thence to Gath, where he was known, through fear feigned himself mad, and so escaped from thence, 1Sa 21:10-15.
