1 Samuel 21:8-10

GOD’S WORD Translation

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.^[a] 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.”
