1 Samuel 21:6-8

Lexham English Bible

⁶ So the priest gave him the holy bread, for there was no bread there except the bread of the Presence, which was removed from before Yahweh, in order to set hot bread there on the day when it was taken away.

⁷ Now there was a man from the servants of Saul on that day, detained before Yahweh, whose name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief of Saul’s shepherds. ⁸ David asked Ahimelech, “Is there not at your disposal^[a] a spear or a sword? For I took neither my sword nor my weapons with me because the king’s matter was urgent.”
