1 Samuel 21:4-6

Revised Geneva Translation

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?”

⁶ So the Priest gave him hallowed bread. For there was no bread there, except the showbread that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread there on the day that it was taken away.
