"Now what do you have at your disposal? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever can be found.”"
— 1 Samuel 21:3, NET Bible
“Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.”
“Now therefore what is under thy hand? give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatsoever there is present. ”
“Now therefore what is under your hand? Give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever there is present."”
“Now therefore if thou have any thing at hand, though it were but five loaves, give me, or whatsoever thou canst find.”
“So now, if you have here five cakes of bread, give them into my hand, or whatever you have.”
“Now therefore what is under thine hand? give me five loaves of bread in mine hand, or what there is present.”
David Goes to Nob(21:1) Then David got up and left, while Jonathan went back to the city.(21:2) David went to Ahimelech the priest in Nob. Ahimelech was shaking with fear when he met David, and said to him,“Why are you by yourself with no one accompanying you?”
David replied to Ahimelech the priest,“The king instructed me to do something, but he said to me,‘Don’t let anyone know the reason I am sending you or the instructions I have given you.’ I have told my soldiers to wait at a certain place.
Now what do you have at your disposal? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever can be found.”
The priest replied to David,“I don’t have any ordinary bread at my disposal. Only holy bread is available, and then only if your soldiers have abstained from relations with women.”
David said to the priest,“Certainly women have been kept away from us, just as on previous occasions when I have set out. The soldiers’ equipment is holy, even on an ordinary journey. How much more so will they be holy today, along with their equipment!”
So the priest gave him holy bread, for there was no bread there other than the bread of the Presence. It had been removed from before the LORD in order to replace it with hot bread on the day it had been taken away.
