16The Philistine drew near morning and evening, and presented himself forty days.
17Jesse said to David his son, Take now for your brothers an ephah of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry [them] quickly to the camp to your brothers;
18and bring these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and look how your brothers fare, and take their pledge.
19Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel, were in the vale of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.
20David 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 place of the wagons, as the host which was going forth to the fight shouted for the battle.
21Israel and the Philistines put the battle in array, army against army.
22David left his baggage in the hand of the keeper of the baggage, and ran to the army, and came and greeted his brothers.
