1 Samuel 21:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

21 And David came to Nobe to Achimelech the priest: and Achimelech was astonished at David's coming. And he said to him: Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?

² And David said to Achimelech the priest: The king hath commanded me a business, and said: Let no man know the thing for which thou art sent by me, and what manner of commands I have given thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.

³ Now therefore if thou have any thing at hand, though it were but five loaves, give me, or whatsoever thou canst find.
