And Jesse said unto David his son, Take now for thy brethren an ephah of this parched {corn}, and these ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren;

And carry these ten cheeses unto the captain of {their} thousand, and look how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge. {cheeses: Heb. cheeses of milk} {of...: Heb. of a thousand}

And David rose up early in the morning, and left the sheep with a keeper, and took, and went, as Jesse had commanded him; and he came to the trench, as the host was going forth to the fight, and shouted for the battle. {trench: or, place of the carriage} {fight: or, battle array, or, place of fight}

For Israel and the Philistines had put the battle in array, army against army.
