1 Samuel 21:2-4

Jubilee Bible 2000

² And David said unto Ahimelech, the priest, The king has commanded me a business and has said unto me, Let no one know anything of this business about which I send thee and what I have commanded thee, and I have appointed my servants to a certain place.

³ Now, therefore, what is under thy hand? Give me five loaves of bread in my hand or what there is present.

⁴ And the priest answered David and said, There is no common bread under my hand; there is only sacred bread, which I will give thee if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.
