David being priest doesn't fully address a couple of things however:

(1) David's band of merry men also ate the shewbread, since David
    affirmed they hadn't been with women.  Perhaps David anointed
    them as priests?

(2) That Mark 2:26 says only priests can eat shewbread, and 1 Sam 21:2-7
    says any man who hasn't been with a woman for some amount of time
    could eat bread.
