6 Si ton père vient à s'informer de moi, tu répondras: David m'a demandé instamment la permission d'aller en hâte à Bethléhem, sa ville, parce que toute sa famille y fait un sacrifice annuel.
6
If your father misses me at all, tell him, ‘David earnestly asked my permission to hurry to Bethlehem, his hometown, because an annual sacrifice is being made there for his whole clan.’
