David receives holy bread at Nob and flees to Gath
David received consecrated bread and Goliath's sword from Ahimelech at Nob. He then fled to Achish of Gath, where fear drove him to feign madness before the Philistine king (1 Samuel 21:1-15).

📖 1 Samuel 21:1–3
1Then David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And when Ahimelech met David, he trembled and asked him, “Why are you alone? Why is no one with you?” 2“The king has given me a mission,” David replied. “He told me no one is to know about the mission or charge. And I have directed my young men to meet me at a certain place. 3Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever can be found.”
