6 So the priest gave him holy [bread] because he only had the bread of the presence which had been taken from the LORD's presence and replaced with warm bread that day. 7 That same day one of Saul's servants who was obligated to stay in the LORD's presence was there. His name was Doeg. A foreman for Saul's shepherds, he was from Edom. 8 David asked Ahimelech, |Don't you have a spear or a sword here? I didn't take either my spear or any other weapon because the king's business was urgent.| 9 The chief priest answered, |The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Elah Valley, is here. It is wrapped in a cloth behind the priestly ephod. If you want to take it, take it. There's no other weapon here.| David said, |There's none like it. Let me have the sword.| 1 Samuel 21:6-9, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
