1 Samuel 21:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Now therefore if thou hast ought under thine hand, give me five cakes of bread, or what cometh to hand.
4 And the Priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but here is (A)hallowed bread, if the young men have kept themselves, at least from [a]women.
5 David then answered the Priest, and said unto him, Certainly women have been separate from us these two or three days since I came out: and the [b]vessels of the young men were holy, though the way were profane, and how much more then shall every one [c]be sanctified this day in the vessel?
