1 Samuel 21:5

And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women [have been] kept from us about these three days, since I came out, and the vessels of the young men are holy, and [the bread is] in a manner common, yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel.

And David {H1732} answered {H6030} the priest {H3548}, and said {H559} unto him, Of a truth {H518} women {H802} have been kept {H6113} from us about these three {H8032} days {H8543}, since I came out {H3318}, and the vessels {H3627} of the young men {H5288} are holy {H6944}, and the bread is in a manner {H1870} common {H2455}, yea, though it were sanctified {H6942} this day {H3117} in the vessel {H3627}.

David answered the cohen, "Of course women have been kept away from us, as on previous campaigns. Whenever I go out on campaign, the men's gear is clean, even if it's an ordinary trip. How much more, then, today, when they will be putting something consecrated in their packs!"

David answered, “Women have indeed been kept from us, as is usual when I set out. And the equipment of the young men is holy, as it is even on common missions, and all the more at this time.”

And David answered the priest, and said unto him, Of a truth women have been kept from us about these three days; when I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was but a common journey; how much more then to-day shall their vessels be holy?
