4 |I don't have any ordinary bread,| the chief priest answered David. |But there is holy bread for the young men if they haven't had sexual intercourse [today].| 5 David answered the priest, |Of course women have been kept away from us as usual when we go [on a mission]. The young men's bodies are kept holy even on ordinary campaigns. How much more then will their bodies be holy today?| 6 So the priest gave him holy [bread] because he only had the bread of the presence which had been taken from the LORD's presence and replaced with warm bread that day. 1 Samuel 21:4-6, God's Word Translation.
