Parallel
1 Samuel 20:6
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
ἐὰν ἐπισκεπτόμενος ἐπισκέψηταί με ὁ πατήρ σου, καὶ ἐρεῖς παραιτούμενος παρῃτήσατο ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ Δαυεὶδ δραμεῖν ἕως εἰς Βηθλέεμ τὴν πόλιν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι θυσία τῶν ἡμερῶν ἐκεῖ ὅλῃ τῇ φυλῇ.
If your father misses me at all, tell him, ‘David urgently requested my permission to hurry to Bethlehem, his hometown, because there is an annual sacrifice for his whole clan.’
