1 Samuel 21:2-4

New International Version - UK

² David answered Ahimelek the priest, ‘The king sent me on a mission and said to me, “No one is to know anything about the mission I am sending you on.” As for my men, I have told them to meet me at a certain place. ³ Now then, what have you to hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever you can find.’

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.’
