David ber om bröd
21 David kom till staden Nov för att träffa prästen Achimelek och prästen blev förskräckt när han fick se honom.
”Varför är du ensam?” frågade han. ”Har du ingen med dig?” 2 ”Kungen har sänt ut mig på ett uppdrag”, svarade David. ”Ingen får veta varför jag är här. Jag har stämt möte med mina män på en annan plats. 3 Kan du ge mig något att äta? Jag behöver fem bröd eller vad du kan avvara.”
4 ”Jag har inget vanligt bröd”, svarade prästen. ”Här finns bara det heliga brödet[a]. Men du kan ta det, om dina män har hållit sig borta från kvinnor.” 5 ”Ja, kvinnor har hållits borta från oss, som alltid när jag drar ut i strid[b]”, svarade David. ”Manskapets utrustning är helgad även i vanliga uppdrag och ännu mer nu.”
6 Då gav prästen honom av det heliga brödet, eftersom det inte fanns annat än skådebrödet som hade legat inför Herren och som hade bytts ut mot färskt bröd.

- 21:4 Det heliga brödet var sannolikt skådebröd (2 Mos 25:30).
- 21:5 Grundtextens innebörd är osäker och kan kanske också betyda att kvinnor hållits på avstånd under de senaste dagarna. Översättningen av versens senare del är ännu mer osäker.
1 Samuel 21:1-6
King James Version
21 Then came David to Nob to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was afraid at the meeting of David, and said unto him, Why art thou alone, and no man with thee?
2 And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.
3 Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.
4 And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; 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 about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.
6 So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the shewbread, that was taken from before the Lord, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.

1 Samuel 21:1-6
New International Version
David at Nob
21 [a]David went to Nob,(A) to Ahimelek the priest. Ahimelek trembled(B) when he met him, and asked, “Why are you alone? Why is no one with you?”
2 David answered Ahimelek the priest, “The king sent me on a mission and said to me, ‘No one is to know anything about the mission I am sending you on.’ As for my men, I have told them to meet me at a certain place. 3 Now then, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever you can find.”
4 But the priest answered David, “I don’t have any ordinary bread(C) on hand; however, there is some consecrated(D) bread here—provided the men have kept(E) themselves from women.”
5 David replied, “Indeed women have been kept from us, as usual(F) whenever[b] I set out. The men’s bodies are holy(G) even on missions that are not holy. How much more so today!” 6 So the priest gave him the consecrated bread,(H) since there was no bread there except the bread of the Presence that had been removed from before the Lord and replaced by hot bread on the day it was taken away.
