Dawid dwane firii Gat kɔtɛɛ ɔbodan a ɛwɔ Adulam no mu. Ankyɛre biara na ne nuanom mmarima ne ne fiefoɔ bi kɔkaa ne ho wɔ hɔ. 
Afoforɔ bi nso kɔkaa ne ho wɔ hɔ. Na saa nnipa no yɛ nnipa a ɔhaw da wɔn so anaa wɔn a wɔdede aka ne wɔn a asetena nkɔ wɔn yie. Wɔbaeɛ ara kɔsii sɛ Dawid bɛyɛɛ ɔkannifoɔ maa nnipa bɛyɛ sɛ ahanan. 
Akyire yi, Dawid kɔɔ Mispe a ɛwɔ Moab. Ɛhɔ na ɔbisaa ɔhene no sɛ, “Wobɛma mʼagya ne me maame abɛtena ha, na woabɔ wɔn ho ban kɔsi sɛ mɛhunu deɛ Onyankopɔn bɛyɛ ama me anaa?” 
Ɔhene no penee so, maa Dawid awofoɔ tenaa Moab a na Dawid nso te nʼabanbɔeɛ mu. 
Ɛda bi, odiyifoɔ Gad ka kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛ, “Firi abanbɔeɛ mu ha, na sane kɔ Yuda asase so.” Enti, Dawid kɔɔ Heret kwaeɛ mu. 
Ɔkɔɔ Yuda hɔ no, ankyɛre na Saulo tee asɛm no. Saa ɛberɛ no, na ɔhene no te gyedua bi ase wɔ Gibea bepɔ so a ɔkura ne pea na ne mpanimfoɔ atwa ne ho ahyia. 
Saulo tee asɛm no, ɔteaam sɛ, “Monyɛ aso, mo mmarima a mofiri Benyamin fie! Dawid ahyɛ mo mfuo ne bobe nturo ho bɔ bi anaa? Wahyɛ mo bɔ sɛ mobɛyɛ nʼasafohene wɔ nʼakodɔm so anaa? 
Ɛno enti na moayɛ apam atia me yi? Na mo mu biara antumi anka biribi ankyerɛ me sɛ me ara me babarima wɔ Dawid afa. Na ɛnha mo koraa mma me. Monnwene ho! Me ara me babarima hyɛ Dawid nkuran sɛ ɔmpɛ me nku me!” 
Ɛhɔ na Edomni Doeg a na ɔne Saulo akofoɔ gyina hɔ no kaa sɛ, “Mehunuu Yisai ba no sɛ ɔbaa Ahitub ba Ahimelek nkyɛn wɔ Nob. 
Ahimelek bisaa Awurade deɛ Dawid nyɛ. Ɔsane maa no nnuane, na ɔde Filistini Goliat akofena no kaa ne ho.” 
Ɔhene no somaa sɛ wɔnkɔfa ɔsɔfoɔ Ahimelek ne ne fiefoɔ a na wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ wɔ Nob no nyinaa mmra. 
Wɔbaeɛ no, Saulo kaa sɛ, “Tie! Ahitub ba.” Ɔbuaa sɛ, “Nana asɛm bɛn.” 
Na Saulo bisaa no sɛ, “Adɛn enti na wo ne Dawid apam me tiri so, na womaa no burodo ne akofena, sane bisaa Awurade maa no. Adɛn enti na wohyɛ no nkuran sɛ ɔnyɛ dɔm ntia me na ɔmmɛto nhyɛ me so wɔ ha?” 
Ahimelek buaa sɛ, “Nana, mesrɛ mebisa sɛ, wʼasomfoɔ yi nyinaa mu no, obi wɔ hɔ a ɔyɛ nokwafoɔ te sɛ wʼase Dawid anaa? Hwɛ ɔyɛ wʼawɛmfoɔ nyinaa so safohene, na wɔbu no yie wɔ wo fidua mu. 
Ɛnyɛ saa ɛda no ne ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan a mabisa Awurade ama no. Dabi! Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔhene no de soboɔ bɔ ne ɔsomfoɔ ne ne fiefoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, wʼakoa nnim saa asɛm yi ho biribiara.” 
Na ɔhene kaa sɛ, “Ɛkwan biara so, wobɛwu. Ahimelek, wo ne wo fiefoɔ nyinaa bɛwu.” 
Na ɔhene ka kyerɛɛ nʼawɛmfoɔ a wɔwɔ hɔ no sɛ, “Monkunkum Awurade asɔfoɔ no nyinaa, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn nso kɔ Dawid afa. Na wɔnim sɛ ɔredwane, nanso wɔanka ankyerɛ me.” Nanso, na ɔhene asraafoɔ no mpɛ sɛ wɔde wɔn nsa ka Awurade asɔfoɔ no. 
Enti, ɔhene hyɛɛ Doeg sɛ, “Dane wo ho na kunkum asɔfoɔ no.” Enti, Edomni Doeg danee ne ho kunkumm wɔn. Ɛda no, ɔkumm mmarima a na wɔhyɛ serekye asɔfotadeɛ aduɔwɔtwe enum. 
Afei, ɔkɔɔ Nob a ɛyɛ asɔfoɔ no kurom, kɔkunkumm asɔfoɔ no fiefoɔ mmarima, mmaa, mmɔfra ne mmadoma, anantwie, mfunumu ne nnwan nyinaa. 
Na Ahitub ba Ahimelek babarima baako a wɔfrɛ no Abiatar dwane kɔɔ Dawid nkyɛn. 
Ɛberɛ a ɔka kyerɛɛ Dawid sɛ Saulo akunkum Awurade asɔfoɔ no, 
Dawid teaam sɛ, “Na menim! Ɛberɛ a mehunuu Doeg wɔ hɔ saa ɛda no, na menim sɛ ɔbɛka akyerɛ Saulo. Seesei, mama wʼagya fiefoɔ nyinaa awuwu. 
Wo ne me ntena ha, na mede me nkwa bɛbɔ wo ho ban, ɛfiri sɛ, onipa korɔ no ara na ɔrehwehwɛ yɛn baanu akum yɛn.”
