4 Now therefore what is under your hand? WaYaAmar (And give) me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever there is present.”
5 The priest answered Dawad (David), and said, “There is no common Lacham (bread) Yadak (under your my hand), but there is holy Lacham (bread); if only the young men have kept themselves from women.”
6 WaYaInah (And answered) Dawad (David) Ath-HaKahan (the entirety of the priest), WaYaInah (and said), “WaYaAmar (and said) Law (for him) KayaAm-Ayashah (surely although - rhetorical Truly, women) NaShamaraw (have been kept) Itzarah (𐤏𐤑𐤓) Lanaw (for us) KaThamawal (as 𐤕𐤌𐤅𐤋) Shalashawam (𐤔𐤋𐤔𐤅𐤌) BaYatzaathay (in go out / come out me) WaYaHayahaw (and came to pass) Kalay (every / bags of) HaNairayam (vessels the young men) Qadash (about three Holy / Set Apart came)., WaHawaa (and which/who/that is) Darak (way/path) Chal (common) WaAp (and journey).

8 Now a certain man of the servants of Shaawal (Saul) BaYawam (in was there that day), detained HaPanayam (the before) Yahawah (); LaShawam (and his name) was Daag (Doeg) the Adawamay (Edomite), the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Shaawal (Saul).
9 Dawad (David) said to Achay-Malak (Ahimelech), “Isn't there here under your hand spear or sword? For I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business BaYawam (in required) haste.”
10 The priest WaYaAmar (and said), “Charab (sword) of Galayath (Goliath) the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Alah (Elah), behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. Laqachathay (If you will take) that, Laqachathay (take) it; for there is no other except that here.” Dawad (David) WaYaAmar (and said), “There is none like that. WaYaAmar (And give it to me).”

12 The servants of Akayash (Achish) said to him, “Isn't this WaDawad (And david) Malak (king) of the land? Didn't they sing one to another about him in dances, saying, ‘Shaawal (Saul) has slain his thousands, Dawad (David) his ten thousands?’”
13 Dawad (David) laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Akayash (Achish) Malak (king) of Gath.
14 WaYaShawam (And he changed) his behavior MaPanayam (from before) them, and pretended to be mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down on his beard.
15 Then Akayash (Achish) said to his servants, “BaIyanayam (In their look), you see the man WaYaThaHalal (and is mad). Il (Why then have you brought him to me)?
