1 Tada David dođe u Nov k Ahimelehu svešteniku; a Ahimeleh se uplaši i istrča pred Davida, i reče mu: Zašto si sam, i nema nikoga s tobom? 2 A David reče Ahimelehu svešteniku: Car mi nešto zapovedi, i reče mi: Niko da ne dozna zašto te šaljem i šta sam ti zapovedio. A sluge sam opravio u to i to mesto. 3 Nego šta imaš pri ruci? Daj mi pet hlebova, ili šta imaš. 4 A sveštenik odgovori Davidu i reče: Nemam pri ruci običnog hleba; nego ima svetog hleba; ali jesu li se momci čuvali od žena? 5 A David odgovori svešteniku i reče mu: Nije bilo žena kod nas ni juče ni onomadne, otkako sam pošao, i sudovi su u momaka bili sveti. A ako bi put i nečist bio, osvetiće se danas sudovima. 6 Tada mu dade sveštenik hlebove svete, jer ne beše hleba osim hlebova postavljenih, koji behu uzeti ispred Gospoda da se postave hlebovi topli onaj dan kad se oni uzeše. 7 A onde beše onaj dan jedan od sluga Saulovih baveći se pred Gospodom, kome ime beše Doik Idumejac, starešina nad pastirima Saulovim. 8 I David reče Ahimelehu: Imaš li tu kakvo koplje ili mač? Jer ni mača svog ni oružja ne ponesoh, jer stvar careva beše hitna. 9 A sveštenik reče: Ovde je mač Golijata Filistejina, kog si ubio u dolini Ili, uvijen u platno iza oplećaka; ako hoćeš, uzmi ga, jer drugog osim njega nema ovde. A David reče: Takvog više nema, daj mi ga. 10 Potom se podiže David, i pobeže onaj dan od Saula, i dođe k Ahisu, caru gatskom. 11 A Ahisu rekoše sluge njegove: Nije li ovo David, car zemaljski? Nisu li o njemu pevali igrajući i govoreći: Saul zgubi svoju hiljadu, a David svojih deset hiljada? 12 I David metnu ove reči u srce svoje, i poboja se veoma Ahisa, cara gatskog. 13 I pretvori se pred njima i učini se lud u rukama njihovim; i šaraše po vratima, i bacaše penu niz bradu svoju. 14 I Ahis reče slugama svojim: Eto, vidite da je čovek lud; što ste mi ga doveli? 15 Zar nemam dosta ludih, nego mi dovedoste toga da luduje preda mnom? Zar će taj ući u kuću moju?

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… His Own Body and Blood: because when He commendeth His Own Body and Blood, He commendeth His Humility, in that which is written in this history, in that seeming madness of David, which we have passed by, "And his spittle ran down over his beard." When the Apostle was read, Ye heard the same spittle, but running down over the …

… him," then, "Allophyli in Geth." We find indeed, brethren, David himself, son of Jesse, king of Israel, to have been in a strange land among the Allophyli, when he was sought by Saul, and was in that city and with the king of that city, but that there he was detained we read not.
