'Companions' in the Bible

Simon and his companions searched for him.

He said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions were hungry --

how he entered the house of God when Abiathar was high priest and ate the sacred bread, which is against the law for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to his companions?"

And they began making fun of him. But he put them all outside and he took the child's father and mother and his own companions and went into the room where the child was.
