1 Samuel 21:2-4

Revised Geneva Translation

² And David said to Ahimelech the Priest, “The king has commanded me a certain thing, and has said to me, ‘Let no man know where I send you, and what I have commanded you, and that I have appointed my servants to such and such places.’

³ “Now, therefore, if you have anything on hand, give me five cakes of bread or whatever there is present.”

⁴ And the Priest answered David, and said, “There is no common bread on hand, but here is hallowed bread, if the young men have kept themselves, at least from women.”
