Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 1 Samuel 21:3-4

1 Samuel 21:3-4. What is under thy hand? He desires to know what he was able to do for him to supply his wants. And particularly he requests some bread for himself and servants. Or what there is present That is, any other victuals. There is hallowed bread Here in the tabernacle. Doubtless, Ahimelech had other provisions in his house; but David was in great haste, and in fear of Doeg, whom he saw and knew, and therefore would not stay till any thing could be fetched from thence. There... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 1 Samuel 21:1-15

Flight from Saul (21:1-15)The first place to which David fled was Nob, which, since the destruction of Shiloh, had become the city of priests (21:1). About this time a few personal servants joined him, according to an arrangement he had made with them earlier. David obtained food for himself and his men by deceiving Ahimelech the priest concerning the purpose of his journey. Unfortunately for him, and for Ahimelech and the other priests, he was seen by someone sympathetic to Saul (2-9).From Nob... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 21:4

1 Samuel 21:4. The priest answered—There is no common bread, &c.— Cases of necessity, as the Jews themselves allow, often superseded the observation of the ritual laws; and this compliance of Ahimelech's is urged with great force by our Saviour, in vindication of a similar case, Mar 2:25 to which place we shall refer for more upon the subject, and for a solution of the difficulties arising from the different names. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 1 Samuel 21:5

1 Samuel 21:5. And the vessels of the young men— i.e. their bodies; see 1 Thessalonians 4:4. Houbigant renders this verse, David answered the priest, We have indeed been absent from our wives these three days, since I came out; and the vessels of the young men are holy. But if any uncleanness had happened by the way, on this very day their vessels are clean; rightly observing, that the word כלי kelei, rendered vessels, cannot with any propriety be understood of the bodies of the young men in... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 1 Samuel 21:4

4. there is hallowed bread—There would be plenty of bread in his house; but there was no time to wait for it. "The hallowed bread" was the old shew-bread, which had been removed the previous day, and which was reserved for the use of the priests alone (Leviticus 24:9). Before entertaining the idea that this bread could be lawfully given to David and his men, the high priest seems to have consulted the oracle (1 Samuel 22:10) as to the course to be followed in this emergency. A dispensation to... read more

5. these three days—as required by law (Exodus 19:15). David and his attendants seem to have been lurking in some of the adjoining caves, to elude pursuit, and to have been, consequently, reduced to great extremities of hunger. the bread is in a manner common—that is, now that it is no longer standing on the Lord's table. It is eaten by the priests, and may also, in our circumstances, be eaten by us. yea, though it were sanctified this day in the vessel—that is, though the hallowed bread had... read more
