1 Samuel 21:3-5
Common English Bible
3 Now what do you have here with you? Give me five loaves of bread or whatever you can find.”
4 “I don’t have any regular bread on hand,” the priest answered David, “just holy bread—but only if your troops have abstained from sexual activity.”
5 “Definitely,” David answered the priest. “Whenever I go out to war, women are off-limits; that’s our standard operating procedure. Even on regular missions, the men’s gear is[a] kept holy. That’s even more true today, with the mission holy along with the gear.”[b]
