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.

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.

You think you are such a big, strong man! Why do you brag about the evil things you’ve done? You are a dishonor to God all the time.You plan ways to destroy others. Your tongue is like a blade that has a sharp edge. You are always telling lies.You love evil instead of good. You would rather lie than tell the truth.You love to harm others with your words, you liar!So God will destroy you forever. He will grab you and pluck you from your tent. He will remove you from this life.Those who do what is right will see it and learn a lesson from it. They will laugh at you and say,“ Just look at this fellow! He didn’t depend on God for his safety. He put his trust in all his wealth. He grew strong by destroying others!”But I am like a healthy olive tree. My roots are deep in the house of God. I trust in your faithful love for ever and ever.I will praise you forever for what you have done. I will praise you when I’m with your faithful people. I will put my hope in you because you are good.

Ahijah was one of them. He was wearing a sacred linen apron. He was a son of Ichabod’s brother Ahitub. Ahitub was the son of Eli’s son Phinehas. Eli had been the Lord’ s priest in Shiloh. No one was aware that Jonathan had left.

David went to Ahimelek the priest at Nob. Ahimelek trembled with fear when he met him. He asked David,“ Why are you alone? Why isn’t anyone with you?”David answered Ahimelek the priest,“ The king gave me a special job to do. He said to me,‘ I don’t want anyone to know what I’m sending you to do. So don’t say anything about it.’ I’ve told my men to meet me at a certain place.Do you have anything for us to eat? Give me five loaves of bread, or anything else you can find.”But the priest answered David,“ I don’t have any bread that isn’t holy. I only have some holy bread here. But it’s for men who haven’t slept with women recently.”David replied,“ Well, we haven’t slept with women recently. That’s the way it is every time I lead my men out to battle. We keep ourselves holy even when we do jobs that aren’t holy. And that’s even more true today.”So the priest gave him the holy bread. It was the only bread he had. It had been removed from the table that was in front of the Lord. On the same day, hot bread had been put in its place.One of Saul’s servants was there that day. He had been made to stay at the holy tent for a while. He was Doeg from Edom. Doeg was Saul’s chief shepherd.David asked Ahimelek,“ Don’t you have a spear or sword here? I haven’t brought my sword or any other weapon. That’s because the job the king gave me to do had to be done right away.”The priest replied,“ The sword of Goliath, the Philistine, is here. You killed him in the Valley of Elah. His sword is wrapped in a cloth. It’s behind the sacred linen apron. If you want it, take it. It’s the only sword here.” David said,“ There isn’t any sword like it. Give it to me.”That day David ran away from Saul. He went to Achish, the king of Gath.But the servants of Achish spoke to him. They said,“ Isn’t this David, the king of the land? Isn’t he the one the Israelites sing about when they dance? They sing,“‘ Saul has killed thousands of men. David has killed tens of thousands.’ ”David paid close attention to what the servants were saying. He became very much afraid of what Achish, the king of Gath, might do.So he pretended to be out of his mind when he was with them. As long as he was in Gath, he acted like a crazy person. He made marks on the doors of the city gate. He let spit run down his beard.Achish said to his servants,“ Just look at the man! He’s out of his mind! Why are you bringing him to me?Don’t I have enough crazy people around me already? So why do you have to bring this fellow here? Just look at how he’s carrying on in front of me! Why do you have to bring this man into my house?”

If rulers listen to lies, all their officials become evil.

You have spread lies about others so you can spill someone’s blood. You eat at the mountain temples. You commit impure acts.

A dishonest witness will be punished. And whoever pours out lies will not go free.

The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for something to use against Jesus. They wanted to put him to death.But they did not find any proof, even though many false witnesses came forward. Finally, two other witnesses came forward.They said,“ This fellow claimed,‘ I am able to destroy the temple of God. I can build it again in three days.’ ”
