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 Dauid answeride to þe preest, and seide to hym, And soþeli if it is doon of wymmen, we absteyneden vs fro yistirdai and þe thridde dai ago, whanne we yeden out, and þe vessels, þat is, bodies, of þe children weren cleene; forsoþe this weie is defoulyd, but also þat schal be halewid to dai in þe vessels.
