21:1 David stays at Nob
21 David went to the priest Ahimelek at Nob, but Ahimelek trembled when he saw David and asked him, “Why are you here by yourself? How come you don’t have a companion?”[ref]
2 “The king sent me on an errand,” David replied, “but he told me not to tell anyone about the matter that he sent me on. Plus I’ve told my young men where to meet me. 3 Now, what food do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread or whatever you can find.”
4 “There is no ordinary bread on hand,” the priest answered. “But there is the sacred bread, if only the young men have kept themselves from women.”
5 “There’s definitely been no women near us for three days,” David told the priest. “That’s how I always do missions. The men[fn] have been pure, even though it was a common journey, and today even more so.”
6 So the priest gave him the sacred bread, because there was no other bread there other than the previous day’s bread of the presence which had been removed from in front of Yahweh to be replaced by fresh bread.[ref]
7 Now it so happened that one of Sha’ul’s servants was there that day presenting himself to Yahweh. He was Doeg the Edomite, a leader of Sha’ul’s herdsmen.
8 David asked Ahimelek, “Do you have any spear or sword here? I didn’t have time to grab my sword or my weapons when I left, because the king’s matter was urgent.”
9 “I’ve only got Goliat’s sword,” replied the priest. “From the Philistine who you killed in the Elah valley. Look, it’s wrapped in the cloak behind the sacred apron. If you want to take it for yourself, take it, because there’s no other sword around here.”
“Yes, there’s no other sword like it,” said David. “Get it for me.”[ref]
21:5 The Hebrew says ‘the men’s vessels’ (or ‘containers’). It’s not culturally clear if that referred to their ‘bodies’ (as this translation implies) or to something they carried.
Mat 12:3-4:
3 [ref]“Haven’t you read about what David did when him and his fighters were hungry?” Yeshua responded. 4 [ref]He went into God’s tent and they ate the Bread of the Presence which none of them were allowed to eat—only the priests.
Mrk 2:25-26:
25 And Yeshua replied, “You’ve read yourselves what David did when him and his men were hungry. 26 [ref]They went into God’s tent and ate the holy bread representing the presence of God. Only the priests were allowed to eat that, and yet David even gave some to his men!”
Luk 6:3:
3 “Haven’t you read about David,” Yeshua answered, “when him and his men were hungry and what they did?
Lev 24:5-9:
1Sam 17:51:
51 David ran and stood over the Philistine—drawing Goliat’s sword out of its sheath to kill him and cut off his head.[ref]
When the Philistines saw that their powerful champion was dead, they fled
