David comes to Nob, and Ahimelech the priest gives him holy bread

다윗이 놉에 이르고 제사장 아히멜렉이 거룩한 떡을 줌

1 Samuel 21:1–6: David comes to Nob to Ahimelech the priest. Ahimelech comes to meet David trembling, and says to him, “Why are you alone, and no man with you?” David says to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has commanded me to do something, and has said to me, ‘Let no one know anything about the business about which I send you, and what I have commanded you. I have sent the young men to a certain place.’ Now therefore what is under your hand? Please give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever is available.” The priest answers David, and says, “I have no common bread, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.” David answers the priest, and says to him, “Truly, women have been kept from us as usual these three days. When I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was only a common journey. How much more then today shall their vessels be holy?” So the priest gives him holy bread; the text gives the reason, “for there was no bread there but the show bread that was taken from before the LORD, to be replaced with hot bread in the day when it was taken away.” In WEB the king’s words at 21:2 run on to “I have sent the young men to a certain place”; the Korean Revised Version closes them at 알게 하지 말라 and gives 내가 나의 소년들을 여차 여차한 곳으로 약정하였나이다 as David’s own words.
