14 David était le plus jeune. Et lorsque les trois aînés eurent suivi Saül,

15 David s’en alla de chez Saül et revint à Bethléhem pour faire paître les brebis de son père.

16 Le Philistin s’avançait matin et soir, et il se présenta pendant quarante jours.

17 Isaï dit à David, son fils: Prends pour tes frères cet épha de grain rôti et ces dix pains, et cours au camp vers tes frères;

18 porte aussi ces dix fromages au chef de leur millier. Tu verras si tes frères se portent bien, et tu m’en donneras des nouvelles sûres.
