¶ The .xxj. Chapter.
¶ Dauid fleeth into Nob to Ahimelech the preast,
and getteth of hym the shewe breade to satisfye his
honger. After warde he flyeth to kynge Achis, and
there fayneth hym selfe to be mad.
A Then came Dauid to Nob to Ahimelech
the preast: And Ahimelech
was astonyed at the sodayne c&obar;mynge
of Dauid, ∧ sayd vnto him:
Why art thou alone, ∧ no man &wt;
þe;? And Dauid sayde to Ahimelech þe; preaste:
the kynge hath commaunded me to do a certeyn
thynge, and hath sayde vnto me, let no
man knowe where aboute I sende the, and
what I haue commannded the to do. And I
haue appoynted my serua&ubar;tes, to soche and
soche places. Nowe therfore yf þu; hast ought
vnder thyne hande note geue me fyue loues of
breade, or what cometh to hande.
And the preast answered Dauid, and sayde:
there is no comen bread vnder myne h&abar;de,
but here is halowed bread, yf the younge
men haue kepte them selues from vncleane
thynges especiallye wemen. Dauid answered
the Preaste,
B and sayde vnto hym:
-- --
Saul and Doeg
of a truth wemen hath bene locked vp from
vs about a thre dayes. When I came out, ∧
the vesselles &lhand; of the young men were holy.
How be it this &lhand; waye is vnpure, and
how much more shal there be holynes in
the vessell. noteAnd so the preast gaue h&ibar; halowed
bred, for there was no nother bred
there, saue the shewebreds, that were tak&ebar;
from before the Lorde, to put freshe bred
there, the daye that it was taken awaye.
And ther was there the same daye a cert&ebar;
man of the seruauntes of Saul abydyng
before the Lorde, named Doeg an Edomite,
the chefest of Sauls hearde men.
C And Dauid sayd vnto Ahimelech: is not
here vnder thyne h&abar;de other speare or swerde?
for I haue nether brought my swerde
nor my harnesse with me, because the kynge
busines required haste. And the preast
sayd: the swerde of Goliath the Philistine
whome thou sluest in þe; Ocke valley, beholde,
it is here wrapt in a cloth behynd the
Ephod. If thou wilt take that, take it, for
there is no nother saue that here. And Dauid
sayd: there is none to that, geue it me.
And Dauid arose and fled the same daye
from the presence of Saul, ∧ w&ebar;t to Achis
the kyng of Geth. And the seruauntes of
Achis sayd of him: is not this Dauid the
kyng of the lande? dyd they not syng vnto
him, in daunses saying note Saul hath slayne
his thousand, ∧ Dauid his ten thous&abar;d?
And Dauid put those wordes into his heart,
∧ was sore afrayed of Achis the kyng
of Geth. And he chaunged his speche before
them, ∧ fayned him self madd in theyr handes,
∧ scrabled on the dores of the gate, and
let his spittel fall downe vpon his bearde.
Then sayde Achis vnto his serua&ubar;te: Loo,
ye se þt; this man is besyde hym selfe, wherfore
then haue ye brought hym to me? Haue
I nede of madd m&ebar; that ye haue brought
this felow to playe the mad m&abar; in my presence?
Shall he come into my howse.
