1 Samuel 21:3-5

Revised Geneva Translation

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.”

⁵ David then answered the Priest, and said to him, “Certainly women have been separated from us for these two or three days since I came out. And the vessels of the young men were holy, though the road was profane. And how much more, then, shall the vessel be sanctified this day?”
