Why do you bring him to me? 15“Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this one to act the madman in my presence? Shall this one come into my house?” Parallel Verses American Standard VersionAnd the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.
