Entered into the house of God. The tabernacle at Nob
(1 Samuel 21:1). The temple had not been built.
The shewbread. Twelve loaves placed upon a table in the holy place
as a symbol of the communion of the twelve tribes, and a type of the
Bread of Life to be given to the whole world. They were kept a week,
renewed, and the old loaves eaten by the priests. If David could take
these under necessity, so could Christ's disciples pluck corn under
necessity.
