1 Samuel 21:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ Now, therefore, what do you have at hand? Give me five loaves of bread or whatever can be found.”

⁴ The priest answered David saying, “I do not have any regular bread at hand, but there is consecrated bread, if the young men have abstained from being with women.” ⁵ David answered the priest saying, “We have assuredly abstained from being with women these three days since I set out. The young men’s gear is consecrated even on missions that are not consecrated. How much more is their gear consecrated today.”
