1 SAMUEL 21:1 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?”
Then David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest — David's arrival at Nob (*va'yavo David el Nob el Achimelechlek hakohen*) marks his entrance into the sanctuary city, the cultic center where the tabernacle dwells. Ahimelech, the high priest, becomes David's first refuge outside Saul's domain. The move from fugitive in the fields to suppliant in the sanctuary signals a transition from physical to spiritual protection.
