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?

And David in answer said to the priest, Certainly women have been kept from us; and as has been done before when I have gone out the arms of the young men were made holy, even though it was a common journey; how much more today will their arms be made holy.

Και απεκριθη ο Δαβιδ προς τον ιερεα και ειπε προς αυτον, Μαλιστα αι γυναικες ειναι μακραν αφ' ημων εις τας τρεις ταυτας ημερας, αφου εξηλθον, και τα σκευη των νεων ειναι καθαρα· και ουτος ο αρτος ειναι τροπον τινα κοινος, μαλιστα επειδη σημερον ειναι αλλος ηγιασμενος εις τα σκευη.

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.
