1 Samuel 21:3-5
New International Reader's Version
3 Do you have anything for us to eat? Give me five loaves of bread, or anything else you can find.”
4 But the priest answered David, “I don’t have any bread that isn’t holy. I only have some holy bread here. But it’s for men who haven’t slept with women recently.”
5 David replied, “Well, we haven’t slept with women recently. That’s the way it is every time I lead my men out to battle. We keep ourselves holy even when we do jobs that aren’t holy. And that’s even more true today.”
