kjv@1Samuel:21:2 @ And David said unto Ahimelech the priest, The king hath commanded me a business, and hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing of the business whereabout I send thee, and what I have commanded thee: and I have appointed my servants to such and such a place.

kjv@1Samuel:21:3 @ Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.

kjv@1Samuel:21:4 @ And the priest answered David, and said, There is no common bread under mine hand, but there is hallowed bread; if the young men have kept themselves at least from women.

kjv@1Samuel:21:5 @ And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.
