1 Samuel 21:2-4

Modern English Version

² And David said to Ahimelek the priest, “The king commanded me a matter and said to me, ‘Let no man know anything of the business which I am sending you and what I have commanded you.’ But to the young men I made known a certain place to meet. ³ Now therefore what is in your hand? Give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever can be found.”

⁴ The priest answered David and said, “There is no common bread at hand. But there is holy bread, if the young men have indeed been kept from women.”
