David.
Bring.
 He takes the ephod to seek counsel of God; he eats the showbread, a remarkable type of Christ, teaching us that, when all is ruined, blessing is made over to those who by faith walk in obedience (1 Samuel 23 by J.N. Darby)
 {v.9-10} When the ephod is brought (1 Sam. 23:6), God answers by the ephod and David receives adequate direction. It is lovely to see him take on the character of a servant here. He, to whom the kingdom belonged, claims only the most humble place before God. (1 Samuel 23 by H.L. Rossier)
