1 Samuel 21:2-7

2“The kingH4428 has given meH6680 a missionH1697,” DavidH1732 repliedH559. “He toldH559 meH413 no oneH376H408 is to knowH3045 aboutH853 the missionH1697 on whichH834 IH595 am sending youH7971H834H6680. AndH853 I have directedH3045 my young menH5288 to meet meH413 at a certain placeH4725H6423H492. 3Now thenH6258, whatH4100 do you haveH3426 onH8478 handH3027? GiveH5414H3027 me fiveH2568 loaves of breadH3899, orH176 whatever can be foundH4672.”

4“There is noH369 commonH2455 breadH3899 onH8478 handH3027,” the priestH3548 repliedH6030, “butH518 there is someH3426 consecratedH6944 breadH3899—provided thatH518 the young menH5288 have kept themselvesH8104 from womenH802.”

5DavidH1732 answeredH6030, “WomenH802 have indeedH518 been keptH6113 from us, as is usualH8032 when I set outH3318. And the bodiesH3627 of the young menH5288 areH1961 holyH6944 evenH1931 on commonH2455 missionsH1870. How muchH637 more soH3588H6942H3627 todayH3117!”

6So the priestH3548 gaveH5414 him the consecratedH6944 bread, sinceH3588 there wasH1961 noH3808 breadH3899 thereH8033 butH518 the BreadH3899 of the PresenceH6440, which had been removedH5493 from beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 and replaced withH7760 hotH2527 breadH3899 on the dayH3117 it was taken awayH3947.

7Now oneH376 of Saul’sH7586 servantsH5650 was thereH8033 thatH1931 dayH3117, detainedH6113 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068. And his nameH8034 was DoegH1673 the EdomiteH130, the chiefH47 shepherdH7462 forH834 SaulH7586.
