2 And David says to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has commanded me [on] a matter, and he says to me, Let no man know anything of the matter about which I send you, and which I have commanded you; and [my] young men know [to go] to such and such a place. 3 And now, what is there under your hand? Give five loaves into my hand, or that which is found.” 4 And the priest answers David and says, “There is no common bread under my hand, but there is holy bread; if only the youths have been kept from women.” 5 And David answers the priest and says to him, “Surely, if women have been restrained from us as before in my going out, then the vessels of the young men are holy, and it [is] a common way; and also, surely it is sanctified today in the vessel.” 6 And the priest gives the holy thing to him, for there was no bread there except the Bread of the Presentation, which is turned aside from the presence of YHWH to put hot bread [there] in the day of its being taken away. 1 Samuel 21:2-6, Literal Standard Version.
