14. And David was the youngest: and the three eldest followed Saul.
15. But David went and returned from Saul to feed his father's sheep at Beth-lehem.
16. And the Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
17. And Jesse said to 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;
18. And carry these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how thy brethren fare, and take their pledge.
19. Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
20. And David rose 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.
