Compare all
2 So David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has ordered me on some business, and said to me, ‘Do not let anyone know anything about the business on which I send you, or what I have commanded you.’ And I have directed my young men to such and such a place.
3 Now therefore, what have you on hand? Give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever can be found.”
4 And the priest answered David and said, “There is no1 common bread on hand; but there is aholy bread, bif the young men have at least kept themselves from women.”  
5 Then David answered the priest, and said to him, “Truly, women have been kept from us about three days since I came out. And1 the avessels of the young men are holy, and the bread is in effect common, even though it was consecrated bin the vessel this day.”  
6 So the priest agave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the showbread bwhich had been taken from before the Lord, in order to put hot bread in its place on the day when it was taken away.  
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the Lord. And his name was aDoeg, an Edomite, the chief of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.  
8 And David said to Ahimelech, “Is there not here on hand a spear or a sword? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.”
