09:020:038 And Jonathan cried after the lad, Make
speed, haste, stay not.
And
Jonathan’s lad gathered up the arrows, and came
to his
master.
09:020:039 But the lad knew not any thing: only
Jonathan and David knew
the
matter.
09:020:040 And Jonathan gave his artillery unto his
lad, and said unto
him,
Go, carry them to the city.
09:020:041 And as soon as the lad was gone, David
arose out of a place
toward
the south, and fell on his face to the ground, and
bowed
himself three times: and they kissed one another,
and
wept
one with another, until David exceeded.
09:020:042 And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace,
forasmuch as we have
sworn
both of us in the name of the lord, saying, The
lord be
between
me and thee, and between my seed and thy seed for
ever.
And he arose and departed: and Jonathan went into
the
city.
09:021:001 Then 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?
09:021:002 And 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.
09:021:003 Now therefore what is under thine hand?
give me five loaves of
bread
in mine hand, or what there is present.
09:021:004 And 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.
09:021:005 And 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.
09:021:006 So 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.
09:021:007 Now 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.
09:021:008 And 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.
