And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou slewest in the valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod: if thou wilt take that, take it: for there is no other save that here. And David said, There is none like that; give it me.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 21 of 1 Samuel. Doeg the Edomite is present at Nob and observes the encounter between David and Ahimelech. David continues his flight and eventually reaches Achish, king of Gath, where the Philistine servants recognize him. To avoid being identified as an enemy, David changes his behavior and is expelled. The episode shows the precariousness of his situation: the future king of Israel even seeks refuge among his enemies. The narrative emphasizes how far David has fallen from his position at court.

Und David sprach zu Ahimelech: Ist nicht hier unter deiner Hand ein Spieß oder Schwert? Ich habe mein Schwert und meine Waffen nicht mit mir genommen; denn die Sache des Königs war eilend.
Y el sacerdote respondió: La espada de Goliath el Filisteo, que tú venciste en el valle del Alcornoque, está aquí envuelta en un velo detrás del ephod: si tú quieres tomarla, tómala: porque aquí no hay otra sino esa. Y dijo David: Ninguna como ella: dámela.
El sacerdote respondió: «La espada de Goliat, el filisteo que mataste en el valle de Ela, está aquí, envuelta en una tela detrás del efod. Si quieres tomarla, tómala, porque aquí no hay otra». David dijo: «No hay ninguna como ella. Dámela».
Le sacrificateur répondit: Voici l'épée de Goliath, le Philistin, que tu as tué dans la vallée des térébinthes; elle est enveloppée dans un drap, derrière l'éphod; si tu veux la prendre, prends-la, car il n'y en a pas d'autre ici. Et David dit: Il n'y en a point de pareille; donne-la-moi.
E il Sacerdote rispose: Io ho la spada di Goliat Filisteo, il qual tu percotesti nella valle di Ela; ecco, ella è involta in un drappo dietro all’Efod; se tu te la vuoi pigliare, pigliala; perciocchè qui non ve n’è alcuna altra, se non quella. E Davide disse: Non ve n’è alcuna pari; dammela
E disse o sacerdote: A espada de Golias, o filisteu, a quem tu feriste no vale do carvalho, eis que está aqui envolta num pano detrás do éfode. Se tu a queres tomar, toma-a, porque nenhuma outra há aqui, senão aquela. E disse Davi: Não há outra semelhante; dá-ma.
祭司說:「你在 以拉谷 所殺的 非利士 人 歌利亞 的那刀,看哪,裹在布中,放在以弗得後邊。你若要可以拿去,除此以外,再沒有別的了。」 大衛 說:「沒有甚麼可以跟它比的了!請你給我。」
