  1  David at Nob obtains of Ahimelech hallowed bread.
 7  Doeg is present.
 8  David takes Goliath's sword.
10  David at Gath feigns himself mad.

VERSE 1
- Nob.
  Nob appears to have been a sacerdotal city of Benjamin or
  Ephraim.  Jerome says, that in his time the ruins of it might
  be seen not far from Diospolis or Lydda.  But the Rabbins
  assert that Jerusalem might be seen from this town.  The
  tabernacle resided some time at Nob; and after it was
  destroyed, it was removed to Gibeon; "and the day of Nob and
  Gibeon were fifty-seven years."  Maimonides in
  Bethhabbechirah, c. 1.

   * 1Sa 22:19 Ne 11:32 Isa 10:32
- to Ahimelech.
   * 1Sa 14:3
- called Ahiah.
   * 1Sa 22:9-19
- called also Abiathar.
   * Mr 2:26
- afraid.
   * 1Sa 16:4

VERSE 2 
 - The king.
  The whole of this is a gross falsehood; and which was attended
  with the most fatal consequences.  It is well known that from
  all antiquity it was held no crime to tell a lie in order to
  save life.  Thus Diphilon [                         .] "I hold
  it right to tell a lie for safety:  nothing should be avoided
  to save life."  A heathen may say or sing thus:  but no
  Christian can act thus and save his soul, though he may save
  his life.

- Achish.  or, Abimelech.
   * 1Sa 27:2 Ps 34:1 *title
- Gath.
  Jerome says there was a large town called Gath, in the way
  from Eleutheropolis to Gaza; and Eusebius speaks of another
  Gath, five miles from Eleutheropolis, towards Lydda, (and
  consequently different from that mentioned by Jerome;) and
  also of another Gath, between Jamnia and Antipatris.  It
  appears to have been the extreme boundary of the Philistine
  territory in one direction, as Ekron was on the other, (ch.
  7:14; 17:52,) and lay near Mareshah, (2 Ch 11:8.  Mic 1:14,)
  which agrees pretty well with the position assigned it by
  Jerome.  But Reland and Dr. Wells agree with Eusebius; and the
  authors of the Universal History (b. i. c. 7) place it about
  six miles form Jamnia, fourteen south of Joppa, and thirty-two
  west of Jerusalem.
