6 So the priest gave him the holy bread,+ because there was no bread there except the showbread, which had been removed from Jehovah’s presence to be replaced by fresh bread on the day it was taken away.

9 To this the priest said: “The sword of Go·liʹath+ the Phi·lisʹtine, whom you struck down in the Valley* of Eʹlah,+ is here, wrapped up in a cloth behind the ephʹod.+ If you want to take it for yourself, take it, because it is the only one here.” David said: “There is none like it. Give it to me.”
