6 So the priest gave him the consecrated bread, since there was no bread there but the Bread of the Presence, which had been removed from before the LORD {YHWH} and replaced with hot bread on the day it was taken away.

7 Now one of Saul’s (desired) servants was there that day, detained before the LORD {YHWH}. And his name was Doeg (fearing) the Edomite, the chief shepherd for Saul.

8 Then David (beloved) asked Ahimelech (my brother is king), “Is there not a spear or sword on hand here? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s mission was urgent.”

9 The priest replied, “The sword of Goliath (splendor) the Philistine (immigrants), whom you killed in the Valley of Elah (An oak), is here; it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want, you may take it. For there is no other but this one here.” And David (beloved) said, “There is none like it; give it to me.”
