David went to Nob and spoke with the priest Ahimelech inventing that he was on a secret mission for the king. He asked him for bread, but Ahimelech didn't have normal bread so he gave him consecrated bread from the tabernacle. Unfortunately one of Saul's servants was there and saw him, and David felt vulnerable being unarmed so asked Ahimelech for a weapon and he gave him Goliath's sword which was stored there.
From Nob David fled to Gath but people soon recognized him as the warrior who had slain tens of thousands, so this left David feeling very apprehensive. The only way that David could think of to protect himself was to feign insanity and he completely deceived King Achish of Gad.
