1 Samuel 21:6-9 ▼

6 So the priest gave him the consecrated bread,  for there was no bread there except the ^•bread of the Presence  that had been removed from the presence of the LORD . When the bread was removed, it had been replaced with warm bread.

7 One of Saul’s servants, detained before the LORD , was there that day. His name was Doeg the Edomite,  chief of Saul’s shepherds.

8 David said to Ahimelech, “Do you have a spear or sword on hand? I didn’t even bring my sword or my weapons since the king’s mission was urgent.”

9 The priest replied, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine,  whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, is here, wrapped in a cloth behind the ^•ephod. If you want to take it for yourself, then take it, for there isn’t another one here .” “There’s none like it ! ” David said. “Give it to me.”
