Now therefore what is under thy hand? five loaves of bread? give them in my hand, or whatsoever there is present.’
וַיַּעַן הַכֹּהֵן אֶת־דָּוִד וַיֹּאמֶר אֵֽין־לֶחֶם חֹל אֶל־תַּחַת יָדִי כִּֽי־אִם־לֶחֶם קֹדֶשׁ יֵשׁ אִם־נִשְׁמְרוּ הַנְּעָרִים אַךְ מֵאִשָּֽׁה

וְשָׁם אִישׁ מֵעַבְדֵי שָׁאוּל בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא נֶעְצָר לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וּשְׁמוֹ דֹּאֵג הָאֲדֹמִי אַבִּיר הָרֹעִים אֲשֶׁר לְשָׁאֽוּל
