1 Samuel 21:3-5

Jubilee Bible 2000

³ Now, therefore, what is under thy hand? Give me five loaves of bread in my hand or what there is present.

⁴ And the priest answered David and said, There is no common bread under my hand; there is only sacred bread, which I will give thee if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.

⁵ And David answered the priest and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us since yesterday and the day before yesterday since I came out, and the vessels of the young men were holy although the way is profane; how much more that today it shall be sanctified with the vessels.
