9. Then Doeg the Edomite, who stood by the servants of Saul, answered and said, "I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.
10. He inquired of the LORD for him, gave him food, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine."
11. Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests who were in Nob; and they all came to the king.
12. Saul said, "Hear now, you son of Ahitub."He answered, "Here I am, my lord."
9. So David went, he and the six hundred men who were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those who were left behind stayed.
10. But David pursued, he and four hundred men; for two hundred stayed behind, who were so faint that they couldn't go over the brook Besor.
11. They found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he ate; and they gave him water to drink.
12. They gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins. When he had eaten, his spirit came again to him; for he had eaten no bread, and drank no water for three days and three nights.
