Note 2 at Mt 12:4: Ahimelech the priest said to David, "Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?" (1Sa 21:1); yet Jesus referred to "them which were with him." In 1Sa 21:2, David mentioned having appointed his servants to some other place. Ahimelech understood David to be asking for bread for his servants also, as can be seen in 1Sa 21:4. David appeared at the house of God alone but had servants who were traveling with him for whom he was requesting bread also.
