1 Samuel 21:4

1 Then came David to Nob, unto Ahimelech, the priest,—and Ahimelech trembled when he met David, and said unto him—Why art thou, alone, and, no man, with thee?

2 And David said unto Ahimelech the priest—The king, hath charged me with a matter, and hath said unto me—Let, no man, know aught of the business on which I am sending thee, and with which I have charged thee,—But, unto the young men, have I appointed, such and such a place.

3 Now, therefore, what is there under thy hand? Five loaves, give thou into my hand,—or, whatever can be found.

4 And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under my hand,—but, hallowed bread, there is, if the young men have kept themselves, at least from women.

5 And David answered the priest and said to him—Of a truth, women, have been withheld from us, of late, through my coming out, and the wallets of the young men have become hallowed,—while [the bread], itself, is in a manner common, and the more so since, to-day, [there are other loaves] to be hallowed, in the vessel.

6 So the priest gave him hallowed [bread],—because there was there no bread, save the Presence-Bread, which had to be removed from before Yahweh, to put hot bread, on the day when it should be taken away.

7 Now, in that very place, was a man of the servants of Saul, on that day, detained before Yahweh, whose name, was Doeg the Edomite,—chief of the shepherds that belonged unto Saul.
