The midwives told Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like Egyptian women. They are like animals, and give birth before the midwife comes to them.”
David went to Nob to Ahimelech the kohen. Ahimelech was afraid to meet David, so he said to him, “Why are you alone and no one with you?”
So the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this—let the boys live?”
So God was good to the midwives, and the people multiplied, growing very numerous.
