1 SAMUEL 21:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, and scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down upon his beard.”
If you will take it, take it; for there is no other besides it here — Ahimelech's *im otah lakach kach ki ein acheret zulata po* permits David to take the sword, offering him both weapon and symbol. The *ein acheret zulata* (there is no other besides it) emphasizes uniqueness; this sword, once Philistine, now available to David, becomes an instrument of his defense.
