EasyEnglish Bible

David goes to the town of Nob

21 David went to visit Ahimelech the priest. He lived in the town of Nob.^[a] Ahimelech shook with fear when he saw David. He asked David, ‘Why are you alone? Why is nobody with you?’^[b]

² David answered, ‘The king has asked me to do something special. He said to me, “Do not tell anyone where I have sent you. Do not say what I have told you to do.” So I have sent my soldiers to wait for me at a certain place. ³ Do you have anything to eat here? Give me five loaves of bread or anything else that you have.’
