1 Samuel 21:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 And David said unto Ahimelech, Is there not here under thine hand a spear or a sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor mine harness with me, because the king’s business required haste.
9 And the Priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the (A)valley of Elah, behold, it is wrapped in a cloth behind the [a]Ephod: if thou wilt take that to thee, take it: for there is none other save that here: And David said, There is none to that, give it me.
10 And David arose and fled the same day from the [b]presence of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
