 3Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.
 4And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.
 5And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.
 6So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the showbread, that was taken from before the Lord, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.

 10And David arose, and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.

 12And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
 13And he changed his behavior before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.
 14Then said Achish unto his servants, Lo, ye see the man is mad: wherefore then have ye brought him to me?
 15Have I need of mad men, that ye have brought this fellow to play the mad man in my presence? shall this fellow come into my house? (1 Sam. 21:1‑15)

• This is where Psalm 52 comes in. David had learned that “Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David came to the house of Ahimelech.” And so he announces judgment without mercy on the Edomite, Israel’s sworn enemy. (“1 Samuel 22” by H.L. Rossier)
