  21:1 ¶
And David comes to Nomba to Abimelech the priest: and Abimelech was amazed at meeting him, and said to him, Why [art] thou alone, and nobody with thee? |
|
21:1 ¶
Then came°°
David°
to Nob°
to°
Ahimelech°
the priest:°
and Ahimelech°
was afraid°°
at the meeting°°
of David,°
and said°°
unto him, Why°
[art] thou°
alone,°
and no°
man°
with°
thee? |
|
21:2
And David said to the priest, The king gave me a command to-day, and said to me, Let no one know the matter on which I send thee, an concerning which I have charged thee: and I have charged my servants [to be] in the place that is called, The faithfulness of God, phellani maemoni. |
|
21:2
And David°
said°°
unto Ahimelech°
the priest,°
The king°
hath commanded°°
me a business,°
and hath said°°
unto°
me, Let no°
man°
know°°
any thing°
of°
the business°
whereabout°
I°
send°°
thee, and what°
I have commanded°°
thee: and I have appointed°°
[my] servants°
to°
such°
and such°
a place.° |
|
21:3
And now if there are under thy hand five loaves, give into my hand what is ready. |
|
21:3
Now°
therefore what°
is°
under°
thine hand?°
give°°
[me] five°
[loaves of] bread°
in mine hand,°
or°
what there is present.°° |
|
21:4
And the priest answered David, and said, There are no common loaves under my hand, for I have none but holy loaves: if the young men have been kept at least from women, then they shall eat [them]. |
|
21:4
And the priest°
answered°°°
David,°
and said,°°
[There is] no°
common°
bread°
under°°
mine hand,°
but°°
there is°
hallowed°
bread;°
if°
the young men°
have kept°°
themselves°
at least°
from women.°° |
|
21:5
And David answered the priest, and said to him, Yea, we have been kept from women for three days: when I came forth for the journey all the young men were purified; but this expedition is unclean, wherefore it shall be sanctified this day because of my weapons. |
|
21:5
And David°
answered°°°
the priest,°
and said°°
unto him, Of°°
a truth°
women°
[have been] kept°°
from us about these three°
days,°
since I came out,°°
and the vessels°
of the young men°
are holy,°
and [the bread is] in a manner°
common,°
yea,°
though°
it were sanctified°°
this day°
in the vessel.° |
|
21:6
So Abimelech the priest gave him the shewbread; for there were no loaves there, but only the presence loaves which had been removed from the presence of the Lord, in order that hot bread should be set on, on the day on which he took them. |
|
21:6
So the priest°
gave°°
him hallowed°
[bread]: for°
there was°
no°
bread°
there°
but°°
the shewbread,°°
that was taken°°
from before°°
Yahweh,°
to put°°
hot°
bread°
in the day°
when it was taken away.°° |
|
21:7
And there was there on that day one of Saul's servants detained before the Lord, and his name [was] Doec the Syrian, tending the mules of Saul. |
|
21:7
Now a certain man°
of the servants°°
of Saul°
[was] there°
that°
day,°
detained°°
before°
Yahweh;°
and his name°
[was] Doeg,°
an Edomite,°
the chiefest°
of the herdmen°°
that°
[belonged] to Saul.° |
|
21:8 ¶
And David said to Abimelech, See if there is here under thy hand spear or sword, for I have not brought in my hand my sword or my weapons, for the word of the king was urgent. |
|
21:8 ¶
And David°
said°°
unto Ahimelech,°
And is there°
not°
here°
under°
thine hand°
spear°
or°
sword?°
for°
I have neither°°
brought°°
my sword°
nor°
my weapons°
with°
me,°
because°
the king's°
business°
required°°
haste.°° |
|
21:9
And the priest said, Behold the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou smotest in the valley of Elah{gr.Ela}; and it is wrapt in a cloth: if thou wilt take it, take it for thyself, for there is no other except it here. And David said, Behold, there is none like it; give it me. |
|
21:9
And the priest°
said,°°
The sword°
of Goliath°
the Philistine,°
whom°
thou slewest°°
in the valley°
of Elah,°
behold,°
it°
[is here] wrapped°°
in a cloth°
behind°
the ephod:°
if°
thou wilt take°°
that, take°°
[it]: for°
[there is] no°
other°
save°
that here.°
And David°
said,°°
[There is] none°
like that; give°°
it me. |
|
21:10 ¶
And he gave it him; and David arose, and fled in that day from he presence of Saul: and David came to Achish{gr.Anchus} king of Gath{gr.Geth}. |
|
21:10 ¶
And David°
arose,°°
and fled°°
that°
day°
for fear°
of°°
Saul,°
and went°°
to°
Achish°
the king°
of Gath.° |
|
21:11
And the servants of Achish{gr.Anchus} said to him, [Is] not this David the king of the land? Did not the dancing women begin the son to him, saying, Saul has smitten his thousand, and David his ten thousands? |
|
21:11
And the servants°
of Achish°
said°°
unto°
him, [Is] not°
this°
David°
the king°
of the land?°
did they not°
sing°°
one to another°
of him°
in dances,°
saying,°°
Saul°
hath slain°°
his thousands,°
and David°
his ten thousands?° |
|
21:12
And David laid up the words in his heart, and was greatly afraid of Achish{gr.Anchus} king of Gath{gr.Geth}. |
|
21:12
And David°
laid up°°°
these°
words°
in his heart,°
and was sore°
afraid°°
of°°
Achish°
the king°
of Gath.° |
|
21:13
And he changed his appearance before him, and feigned himself a false character in that day; and drummed upon the doors of the city, and used extravagant gestures with his hands, and fell against the doors of the gate, and his spittle ran down upon his beard. |
|
21:13
And he changed°°°
his behaviour°
before°
them, and feigned himself mad°°
in their hands,°
and scrabbled°°
on°
the doors°
of the gate,°
and let his spittle°
fall down°°
upon°
his beard.° |
|
21:14
And Achish{gr.Anchus} said to his servants, Lo! ye see the man [is] mad: why have ye brought him in to me? |
|
21:14
Then said°°
Achish°
unto°
his servants,°
Lo,°
ye see°°
the man°
is mad:°°
wherefore°
[then] have ye brought°°
him to°
me? |
|
21:15
[Am] I in want of madmen, that ye have brought him in to me to play the madman? He shall not come into the house. |
|
21:15
Have I°
need°
of mad men,°°
that°
ye have brought°°°
this°
[fellow] to play the mad man°°
in my presence?°
shall this°
[fellow] come°°
into°
my house?° |
