1David pulled up to Nob to meet Ahimelech the priest, and Ahimelech was lowkey shook, like, "Why you solo, fam?"

2David told Ahimelech, "The king hit me up with a mission, told me to keep it on the down-low, and I sent my squad to handle biz elsewhere."

3"So what you got on deck? I need five loaves of bread or whatever you got."

4The priest was like, "Ain't no regular bread here, but I got that holy bread, if your boys have kept it clean."

5David was like, "No cap, we've been chillin' without women for three days since I bounced, and the squad is pure, so that bread is good."

6So the priest hooked him up with the holy bread, 'cause that was the only bread around, straight from the Lord, meant to be hot.

7There was this dude named Doeg, an Edomite, who was vibing there, the top herdsman for Saul.

8David asked Ahimelech, "You got a spear or sword on you? I didn’t bring my gear 'cause the king needed me quick."

9The priest said, "I got Goliath's sword, the one you took down in the valley of Elah, it's wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want it, it's yours, 'cause that's all I got." David was like, "That sword is lit; gimme that."

10David bounced and dipped that day 'cause he was scared of Saul, heading to Achish, the king of Gath.

11Achish’s squad was like, "Ain't this David, the king? They were singing about him, saying Saul took down thousands, and David ten thousands!"

12David kept those words in his mind, feeling mad nervous about Achish, the king of Gath.

13He switched up his vibe, acted all crazy, scribbled on the gate doors, and let his drool drop on his beard.

14Achish was like, "Yo, this dude's wilding; why'd you bring him to me?"

15"Do I need more crazy people? Why you bring this guy to act all sus in my presence? He ain't coming into my crib!"

1Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?

2And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.

3Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.

4And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.

5And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.

6So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the shewbread, that was taken from before the Lord, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.

7Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the Lord; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefest of the herdmen that belonged to Saul.

8And David said unto Ahimelech, And is there not here under thine hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.

9And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.

10And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.

11And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

12And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

13And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.

14Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me?

15Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house?
