1 Samuel 21:2-4

New International Reader's Version

² David answered Ahimelek the priest, “The king gave me a special job to do. He said to me, ‘I don’t want anyone to know what I’m sending you to do. So don’t say anything about it.’ I’ve told my men to meet me at a certain place. ³ Do you have anything for us to eat? Give me five loaves of bread, or anything else you can find.”

⁴ But the priest answered David, “I don’t have any bread that isn’t holy. I only have some holy bread here. But it’s for men who haven’t slept with women recently.”
