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 standing there with Saul’s men, spoke up.“ When I was at Nob,” he said,“ I saw the son of Jesse talking to the priest, Ahimelech 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.

Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero? Why do you boast all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?You who practice deceit, your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened razor.You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking the truth.You love every harmful word, you deceitful tongue!Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin: He will snatch you up and pluck you from your tent; he will uproot you from the land of the living.The righteous will see and fear; they will laugh at you, saying,“ Here now is the man who did not make God his stronghold but trusted in his great wealth and grew strong by destroying others!”But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever.For what you have done I will always praise you in the presence of your faithful people. And I will hope in your name, for your name is good. (niv)

among whom was Ahijah, who was wearing an ephod. He was a son of Ichabod’s brother Ahitub son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the Lord’s priest in Shiloh. No one was aware that Jonathan had left. (niv)

David went to Nob, to Ahimelek the priest. Ahimelek trembled when he met him, and asked,“ Why are you alone? Why is no one with you?”David answered Ahimelek the priest,“ The king sent me on a mission and said to me,‘ No one is to know anything about the mission I am sending you on.’ As for my men, I have told them to meet me at a certain place.Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever you can find.”But the priest answered David,“ I don’t have any ordinary bread on hand; however, there is some consecrated bread here— provided the men have kept themselves from women.”David replied,“ Indeed women have been kept from us, as usual whenever I set out. The men’s bodies are holy even on missions that are not holy. How much more so today!”So the priest gave him the consecrated bread, since there was no bread there except the bread of the Presence that had been removed from before the Lord and replaced by hot bread on the day it was taken away.Now one of Saul’s servants was there that day, detained before the Lord; he was Doeg the Edomite, Saul’s chief shepherd.David asked Ahimelek,“ Don’t you have a spear or a sword here? I haven’t brought my sword or any other weapon, because the king’s mission was urgent.”The priest replied,“ The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, is here; it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want it, take it; there is no sword here but that one.” David said,“ There is none like it; give it to me.”That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath.But the servants of Achish said to him,“ Isn’t this David, the king of the land? Isn’t he the one they sing about in their dances:“‘ Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands’?David took these words to heart and was very much afraid of Achish king of Gath.So he pretended to be insane in their presence; and while he was in their hands he acted like a madman, making marks on the doors of the gate and letting saliva run down his beard.Achish said to his servants,“ Look at the man! He is insane! Why bring him to me?Am I so short of madmen that you have to bring this fellow here to carry on like this in front of me? Must this man come into my house?” (niv)

If a ruler listens to lies, all his officials become wicked. (niv)

In you are slanderers who are bent on shedding blood; in you are those who eat at the mountain shrines and commit lewd acts. (niv)

A false witness will not go unpunished, and whoever pours out lies will not go free. (niv)

The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for false evidence against Jesus so that they could put him to death.But they did not find any, though many false witnesses came forward. Finally two came forwardand declared,“ This fellow said,‘ I am able to destroy the temple of God and rebuild it in three days.’” (niv)
