Talmud su I Samuele 21:4

וְעַתָּ֗ה מַה־יֵּ֧שׁ תַּֽחַת־יָדְךָ֛ חֲמִשָּׁה־לֶ֖חֶם תְּנָ֣ה בְיָדִ֑י א֖וֹ הַנִּמְצָֽא׃

Ora dunque cosa c'è sotto la tua mano? cinque pagnotte di pane? daglieli in mano o qualunque cosa sia presente.'

Jerusalem Talmud Sukkah

Rebbi Levi said, all watches were given in the South. Rebbi Yose said, the Mishnah says so, “if one day fell between them.147Since the remaining watches together get two loaves, they must stand together at one place. North of the altar is the preferred place since it is the place prescribed for the slaughter of most holy sacrifices. Since the remaining watches are not better than is the outgoing watch, their place is South of the altar.” Rebbi Judah ben Titus in the name of Rebbi Aḥa, the verse supports this Tanna: and now what do you have ready, give in my hands five breads or what is available1481S. 21:4.. But was Aḥimelekh from the outgoing watch149In verse 7 it is noted that the bread given was the shew-bread (which is most holy and forbidden for all except pure Cohanim.) But in v. 4 David had asked for any bread, preferably profane. At the same time by emphasizing five breads he intimated that he was dangerously hungry, in danger of his life, and therefore even shew bread was permitted to him (as understood in Luke 6:4). The number 5 refers either to Aḥimelekh being High Priest and taking 5 of the 12 loaves (Yoma 1:2, Note 167) or, since his name does not appear on any list of High Priests, he was head of the outgoing watch, having 5 loaves to distribute following R. Jehudah. The argument then is rejected since there is no support for the statement that Aḥimelekh belonged to the outgoing watch; it rather seems that he was the organizer of the service at the Tabernacle. (S. Abramson, Sinai63, 5768, 193–197.) {The medieval commentators of Samuel reject any reference to shew-breads and refer to bread accompanying thanksgiving sacrifices permitted to any pure person.}?
