Exegesis
The verse continues the question introduced earlier with the interrogative adverb pos {πῶς | pôs} “how,” followed by a sequence of aorist verbs—eiselthen {εἰσῆλθεν | eisēlthen} “he entered,” ephagen {ἔφαγεν | éphagen} “he ate,” and edōken {ἔδωκεν | édōken} “he gave”—to portray David’s actions in rapid succession.
In context — Mark 2:26
How he entered into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the bread of the presentation , which is not lawful to eat except for the priests, and also gave it to those who were with him.
