  • Ps 52:1-9 : 1 Why do you boast in mischief, O mighty man? The goodness of God endures continually. 2 Your tongue devises mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. 3 You love evil more than good; and lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah. 4 You love all devouring words, O deceitful tongue. 5 God shall likewise destroy you forever, He shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place, and root you out of the land of the living. Selah. 6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him: 7 Look, this is the man that did not make God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness. 8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever. 9 I will praise You forever, because You have done it: and I will wait on Your name; for it is good before Your saints.

  • 1 Sam 21:1-9 : 1 Then David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David and said to him, Why are you alone, and no man with you? 2 And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has commanded me a matter, and has said to me, Let no man know anything of the business about which I send you, and what I have commanded you: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place. 3 Now therefore, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever there is present. 4 And the priest answered David and said, There is no common bread on hand, but there is holy bread, if the young men have kept themselves at least from women. 5 And David answered the priest and said to him, Truly, women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yes, though it was sanctified this day in the vessel. 6 So the priest gave him holy bread, for there was no bread there but the showbread, which was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day it was taken away. 7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen that belonged to Saul. 8 And David said to Ahimelech, Is there not here on hand a spear or sword? For I have not brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste. 9 And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck down in the Valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if you will take that, take it, for there is no other but that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it to me. 10 And David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath. 11 And the servants of Achish said to him, Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing to one another of him in dances, saying, Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands? 12 And David took these words to heart and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath. 13 And he changed his behavior before them, and pretended to be mad in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down on his beard. 14 Then Achish said to his servants, Look, you see the man is mad: why have you brought him to me? 15 Do I need mad men, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?

    17And the king said to the footmen that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests of the LORD; because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled, and did not show it to me. But the servants of the king would not put forth their hand to attack the priests of the LORD.
