4 But the priest replied to David, “I have no ordinary bread on hand, only holy bread; if the men have abstained from women, you may eat some of that.” 5 David answered the priest: “We have indeed stayed away from women.

All the more so are they consecrated with their weapons today!” 1 Samuel 21:4-5, New American Bible Revised. Copyright © 2010 USCCB.
