• This bread taken from before God’s presence was “in a manner common” (1 Sam. 21:5). In the presence of the rejection of His king, what value could the shewbread, which presented the true Israel in Christ to God, have in God’s sight. So David could consider this bread profane. Sovereign grace rose above legal ordinances, for it was more important to feed David and his followers than to preserve that which had become old. (“1 Samuel 21” by H.L. Rossier)
