1 SAMUEL 21

DAVID FLEES FROM SAUL + ACQUIRES GOLIATH’S SWORD

David goes to Nod, where Ahimelech is the priest. Ahimelech gives David some of the holy bread, since there is no other bread available. When David requests a sword for protection, Ahimelech tells him where to acquire Goliath’s sword.

David continues to flee from Saul and travel towards Gath. David is recognized there and becomes afraid, so he pretends to be an insane madman. That’s one strategy!
