1 Samuel 21:4-6

New International Version - UK

⁴ But the priest answered David, ‘I don’t have any ordinary bread to hand; however, there is some consecrated bread here – provided the men have kept themselves from women.’

⁵ David replied, ‘Indeed women have been kept from us, as usual whenever^[a] I set out. The men’s bodies are holy even on missions that are not holy. How much more so today!’ ⁶ So the priest gave him the consecrated bread, since there was no bread there except the bread of the Presence that had been removed from before the Lord and replaced by hot bread on the day it was taken away.
