David Goes to See Ahimelech the Priest

21 Then David left and Jonathan went back to the town. David went to the town named Nob^[a] to see Ahimelech the priest.

Ahimelech went out to meet David. He was afraid of David and asked, “Why are you alone? Why isn’t anyone with you?”

² David answered him, “The king gave me a special order. He told me, ‘Don’t let anyone know about this mission. No one must know what I told you to do.’ I told my men where to meet me.
