1 Samuel 21:1-3

Living Bible

21 David went to the city of Nob to see Ahimelech, the priest. Ahimelech trembled when he saw him.

“Why are you alone?” he asked. “Why is no one with you?”

² “The king has sent me on a private matter,” David lied. “He told me not to tell anybody why I am here. I have told my men where to meet me later. ³ Now, what is there to eat? Give me five loaves of bread or anything else you can.”
