Read this first: 1 Samuel 21:4
Only priests' bread (Lev 24:1-9) is at the tabernacle. However, God's house is a home of mercy so Ahimelech offers the holy food, so long as David's mission is special for to the Lord, as shown by the men fasting from sex. As Paul later wrote, intimacy is part of the unselfish love which is key to marriage; but, at times, we may forgo the blessing to serve God (1Co 7:3-5).
Based on the sermon “David alone”
