1 Samuel 21:3-5

Young's Literal Translation

³ and now, what is there under thy hand? five loaves give into my hand, or that which is found.'

⁴ And the priest answereth David, and saith, `There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if the youths have been kept only from women.'

⁵ And David answereth the priest, and saith to him, `Surely, if women have been restrained from us as heretofore in my going out, then the vessels of the young men are holy, and it [is] a common way: and also, surely to-day it is sanctified in the vessel.'
