1 Samuel 21:4 in Context — 1 Samuel 21

2 Y respondió David al sacerdote Ahimelech: El rey me encomendó un negocio, y me dijo: Nadie sepa cosa alguna de este negocio á que yo te envío, y que yo te he mandado; y yo señalé á los criados un cierto lugar.

3 Ahora pues, ¿qué tienes á mano? dame cinco panes, ó lo que se hallare.

4 Y el sacerdote respondió á David, y dijo: No tengo pan común á la mano; solamente tengo pan sagrado: mas [lo daré] si los criados se han guardado mayormente de mujeres.

5 Y David respondió al sacerdote, y díjole: Cierto las mujeres nos han sido reservadas desde anteayer cuando salí, y los vasos de los mozos fueron santos, aunque el camino es profano: cuanto más que hoy habrá [otro pan] santificado en los vasos.

6 Así el sacerdote le dió [el pan] sagrado, porque allí no había otro pan que los panes de la proposición, los cuales habían sido quitados de delante de Jehová, para que se pusiesen panes calientes el día que [los otros] fueron quitados.
