Read this first: 1 Samuel 21:2-3
Telling Ahimelech he's fleeing Saul to hide among his enemies (v10) may prevent David's escape or cause the priest trouble. So he lies about being on the king's mission and simply needing bread. Christians must be truthful (Eph 4:15; Pro 12:22). However, there are times when lying has to be deployed as the lesser of two evils to defeat wickedness (Exo 15:1-21).
Based on the sermon “David alone”
