1 Samuel 21:6-9 ▼

6 So the priest gave him consecrated bread because no bread was there except the Bread of the Presence that had been removed from the LORD's presence and replaced with hot bread on the day it was taken away.

7 Now, Doeg the Edomite, one of Saul's officials, was there that day, detained in the LORD's presence. He was the chief of Saul's shepherds.

8 David told Ahimelech, |Is there no spear or sword available here? I took neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's mission is urgent.|

9 The priest said, |The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck down in the Valley of Elah is wrapped up in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want it, take it because there is no other except it here.| So David said, |There is none like it. Give it to me.|
