Read this first: 1 Samuel 21:6
David takes the bread which, legally, is only for priests (Lev 24:5-9). Why? Because both he and the priest know the law was intended for the good of those serving the Lord. Jesus later picks up on this when criticised for Sabbath activities (Mar 2:23-28). Like David, he knows the law was given to do good not be the heartless slave-master his critics had corrupted it into.
Based on the sermon “David alone”
