1 大衛來到挪伯的祭司亞希米勒那裡。亞希米勒戰戰兢兢地出來迎接他,問道:「你為什麼獨自一人,沒有隨從呢?」2 大衛答道:「王差遣我來辦一件事,他吩咐我不可把事情洩露給任何人。我已經吩咐部下在某處跟我會合。3 現在你這裡有什麼吃的嗎?請給我五個餅,或任何吃的東西。」4 祭司答道:「我們沒有普通的餅,只有聖餅[1],如果你的部下沒有親近過女色,就可以吃。」5 大衛答道:「當然沒有親近過女色。每逢我們出來辦事,即使是平常的任務,我的部下總是保持聖潔,何況這次是特別的任務。」6 於是,祭司把聖餅給他,因為那裡沒有別的餅,只有從耶和華的會幕裡更換下來的供餅。7 那天,掃羅的司牧長以東人多益碰巧在耶和華的會幕。8 大衛問亞希米勒:「你這裡有沒有刀槍?因為王的事緊急,倉促間我連兵器也沒有帶。」9 祭司答道:「你在以拉谷殺的非利士人歌利亞的刀在這裡,用布包著放在以弗得後面。如果你要就拿去吧,這裡沒有別的刀了。」大衛答道:「這刀再好不過了,把它給我吧。」10 那日,大衛為了躲避掃羅,逃往迦特王亞吉那裡。11 亞吉的臣僕對亞吉說:「這個大衛不是以色列的王嗎?民眾跳舞歌唱『掃羅殺死千千,大衛殺死萬萬』,歌頌的不是他嗎?」12 大衛聽到這些話,擔心迦特王亞吉會加害於他,13 就在他們面前裝作瘋子,在城門上胡亂塗畫,任由唾沫沿著鬍子流下來。14 亞吉對臣僕說:「你們看,這是個瘋子,為什麼把他帶到我這裡來?15 我這裡缺少瘋子嗎?你們怎麼可以把這個傢伙帶到我家裡,在我面前瘋瘋癲癲呢?」

1 [1] Then David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech came to meet David, trembling, and said to him, “Why are you alone, and no one with you?” (撒上14:3; 撒上16:4; 撒上22:9; 撒上22:11; 撒上22:19; 尼11:32; 赛10:32; 可2:26)2 And David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has charged me with a matter and said to me, ‘Let no one know anything of the matter about which I send you, and with which I have charged you.’ I have made an appointment with the young men for such and such a place.3 Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever is here.”4 And the priest answered David, “I have no common bread on hand, but there is holy bread—if the young men have kept themselves from women.” (出19:15; 出25:30; 利24:5; 太12:3; 可2:25; 路6:3)5 And David answered the priest, “Truly women have been kept from us as always when I go on an expedition. The vessels of the young men are holy even when it is an ordinary journey. How much more today will their vessels be holy?”6 So the priest gave him the holy bread, for there was no bread there but the bread of the Presence, which is removed from before the Lord, to be replaced by hot bread on the day it is taken away. (利24:8; 撒上21:4)7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the Lord. His name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief of Saul’s herdsmen. (撒上22:9)8 Then David said to Ahimelech, “Then have you not here a spear or a sword at hand? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.”9 And the priest said, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck down in the Valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that, take it, for there is none but that here.” And David said, “There is none like that; give it to me.” (撒上17:2; 撒上17:51)10 And David rose and fled that day from Saul and went to Achish the king of Gath.11 And the servants of Achish said to him, “Is not this David the king of the land? Did they not sing to one another of him in dances, ‘Saul has struck down his thousands, and David his ten thousands’?” (撒上18:7; 撒上29:5)12 And David took these words to heart and was much afraid of Achish the king of Gath. (路2:19)13 So he changed his behavior before them and pretended to be insane in their hands and made marks on the doors of the gate and let his spittle run down his beard.14 Then Achish said to his servants, “Behold, you see the man is mad. Why then have you brought him to me?15 Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to behave as a madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?”
