1 Samuel 21:8-10
Living Bible
8 David asked Ahimelech if he had a spear or sword he could use. “The king’s business required such haste, and I left in such a rush that I came away without a weapon!” David explained.
9 “Well,” the priest replied, “I have the sword of Goliath, the Philistine—the fellow you killed in the valley of Elah. It is wrapped in a cloth in the clothes closet.[a] Take that if you want it, for there is nothing else here.”
“Just the thing!” David replied. “Give it to me!”
10 Then David hurried on, for he was fearful of Saul, and went to King Achish of Gath.
