Synopsis:
David goes to the priest Ahimelech and asks for help. The priest is wary, but David tells him he is on secret business for king Saul. So the priest gives him the show bread from the altar and the sword of Goliath. But because a shepherd of Saul was there, David has to move on. He goes to the king of Gath, but he is recognized, so he pretends to be mad, by scrabbling on the door and letting spittle dribble down his beard. The King of Gath says, why have you brought me this madman? David escapes once again.
In other words:
David starts life as fugitive by securing food and Goliath’s sword.
