9And David said to Ahimelech, “Is there not here under your hand a spear or a sword? For I did not take my sword or my weapons in my hand, because the king’s matter was urgent.”

10And the priest said, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck down in the Valley of Elah—behold, it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that for yourself, take it, for there is no other here except it.” And David said, “There is none like it; give it to me.”
