1 Samuel 21:2-4

New Century Version

² David answered him, “The king gave me a special order. He told me, ‘No one must know what I am sending you to do or what I told you to do.’ I told my men where to meet me. ³ Now, what food do you have with you? Give me five loaves of bread or anything you find.”

⁴ The priest said to David, “I don’t have any plain bread here, but I do have some holy bread.^[a] You may eat it if your men have kept themselves from women.”
