1 Samuel 21:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 David answered the priest and said to him, “(A)Be assured, women have been denied to us as previously when I left and the [a](B)bodies of the young men were consecrated, though it was an ordinary journey; how much more then will [b]their bodies be consecrated today?” 6 So (C)the priest gave him consecrated bread; for there was no bread there except the (D)bread of the Presence which was removed from its place before the Lord, in order to put hot bread in its place on the day it was taken away.
7 Now one of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the Lord; and his name was (E)Doeg the Edomite, the (F)chief of Saul’s shepherds.

How much more so today!” 6 So the priest gave him the consecrated bread,(C) since there was no bread there except the bread of the Presence that had been removed from before the Lord and replaced by hot bread on the day it was taken away.
