New English Translation

16 Meanwhile for forty days the Philistine approached every morning and evening and took his position. 17 Jesse said to his son David, “Take your brothers this ephah of roasted grain and these ten loaves of bread; go quickly[a] to the camp to your brothers. 18 Also take these ten portions of cheese to their commanding officer.[b] Find out how your brothers are doing[c] and bring back their pledge that they received the goods.[d]
