1 SAMUEL 21:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?”
For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste — David's fabrication (*ki melachit hamelekh nizarka*, the king's business required haste) justifies his arrival armed only with his clothes. The verb *nizarka* suggests violent urgency, a mission conducted under pressure that forbade time for weapons preparation.
