But Doeg the Edomite, who was standing with Saul’s officials, said,“ I saw the son of Jesse come to Ahimelek son of Ahitub at Nob.

Doeg was standing with Saul’s officials. He was from Edom. He said,“ I saw Jesse’s son David come to Ahimelek at Nob. Ahimelek is the son of Ahitub.

Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul,“ I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub,

Then Doeg the Edomite, who was in charge of Saul’s servants, answered,“ I saw Jesse’s son come to Ahimelech son of Ahitub at Nob.

Then Doeg the Edomite, who was standing in front of the servants of Saul, responded and said,“ I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

Then answered Doeg the Edomite, who was set over the servants of Saul, and said,“ I saw the son of Jesse going to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered and said,“ I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

Why do you boast about your crimes, great warrior? Don’t you realize God’s justice continues forever?All day long you plot destruction. Your tongue cuts like a sharp razor; you’re an expert at telling lies.You love evil more than good and lies more than truth. InterludeYou love to destroy others with your words, you liar!But God will strike you down once and for all. He will pull you from your home and uproot you from the land of the living. InterludeThe righteous will see it and be amazed. They will laugh and say,“ Look what happens to mighty warriors who do not trust in God. They trust their wealth instead and grow more and more bold in their wickedness.”But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God. I will always trust in God’s unfailing love.I will praise you forever, O God, for what you have done. I will trust in your good name in the presence of your faithful people.

Among Saul’s men was Ahijah the priest, who was wearing the ephod, the priestly vest. Ahijah was the son of Ichabod’s brother Ahitub, son of Phinehas, son of Eli, the priest of the Lord who had served at Shiloh. No one realized that Jonathan had left the Israelite camp.

David went to the town of Nob to see Ahimelech the priest. Ahimelech trembled when he saw him.“ Why are you alone?” he asked.“ Why is no one with you?”“ The king has sent me on a private matter,” David said.“ He told me not to tell anyone why I am here. I have told my men where to meet me later.Now, what is there to eat? Give me five loaves of bread or anything else you have.”“ We don’t have any regular bread,” the priest replied.“ But there is the holy bread, which you can have if your young men have not slept with any women recently.”“ Don’t worry,” David replied.“ I never allow my men to be with women when we are on a campaign. And since they stay clean even on ordinary trips, how much more on this one!”Since there was no other food available, the priest gave him the holy bread— the Bread of the Presence that was placed before the Lord in the Tabernacle. It had just been replaced that day with fresh bread.Now Doeg the Edomite, Saul’s chief herdsman, was there that day, having been detained before the Lord.David asked Ahimelech,“ Do you have a spear or sword? The king’s business was so urgent that I didn’t even have time to grab a weapon!”“ I only have the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah,” the priest replied.“ It is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. Take that if you want it, for there is nothing else here.”“ There is nothing like it!” David replied.“ Give it to me!”So David escaped from Saul and went to King Achish of Gath.But the officers of Achish were unhappy about his being there.“ Isn’t this David, the king of the land?” they asked.“ Isn’t he the one the people honor with dances, singing,‘ Saul has killed his thousands, and David his ten thousands’?”David heard these comments and was very afraid of what King Achish of Gath might do to him.So he pretended to be insane, scratching on doors and drooling down his beard.Finally, King Achish said to his men,“ Must you bring me a madman?We already have enough of them around here! Why should I let someone like this be my guest?”

If a ruler pays attention to liars, all his advisers will be wicked.

People accuse others falsely and send them to their death. You are filled with idol worshipers and people who do obscene things.

A false witness will not go unpunished, nor will a liar escape.

Inside, the leading priests and the entire high council were trying to find witnesses who would lie about Jesus, so they could put him to death.But even though they found many who agreed to give false witness, they could not use anyone’s testimony. Finally, two men came forwardwho declared,“ This man said,‘ I am able to destroy the Temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’”
