21So he went away with all he had, and went across the River in the direction of the hill-country of Gilead.
22And on the third day Laban had news of Jacob's flight.
23And taking the men of his family with him, he went after him for seven days and overtook him in the hill-country of Gilead.
24Then God came to Laban in a dream by night, and said to him, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.
25Now when Laban overtook him, Jacob had put up his tent in the hill-country; and Laban and his brothers put up their tents in the hill-country of Gilead.
26And Laban said to Jacob, Why did you go away secretly, taking my daughters away like prisoners of war?
27Why did you make a secret of your flight, not giving me word of it, so that I might have sent you away with joy and songs, with melody and music?
