1 Samuel 21:6-9 So the priest gave him hallowed bread, ––because there was there no bread, save the Presence–Bread, which had to be removed from before Yahweh, to put hot bread, on the day when it should be taken away.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ So the priest gave him hallowed [bread], ––because there was there no bread, save the Presence–Bread, which had to be removed from before Yahweh, to put hot bread, on the day when it should be taken away. ⁷ Now, in that very place, was a man of the servants of Saul, on that day, detained before Yahweh, whose name, was Doeg the Edomite,––chief of the shepherds that belonged unto Saul. ⁸ Then said David to Ahimelech, See whether there is here, under thy hand, a spear or a sword? for, neither my sword, nor my other weapons, did I take in my hand, for, the king’s business, was, urgent. ⁹ And the priest said: The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom thou didst smite in the vale of Elah, lo! that, is wrapped up in a cloth, behind the ephod, if, that, thou wilt take to thee, take it, for there is no other, save that, here. And David said––There is none, like it, give it me.
