1 Samuel 21:4-6
Lexham English Bible

How much more[e] today[f] will the things[g] be holy?” 6 So the priest gave him the holy bread, for there was no bread there except the bread of the Presence, which was removed from before Yahweh, in order to set hot bread there on the day when it was taken away.
