# David Eating Bread

**Mark says the high priest was Abiathar, but Samuel says it is Abiathar's father Ahimelek**

**Mark 2:25-26**: "He answered, 'Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? In the days of **Abiathar** the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.'"

\[1 Samuel 21] David went to Nob, to **Ahimelek** the priest. **Ahimelek** trembled when he met him, and asked, “Why are you alone? Why is no one with you?”
