1 Samuel 20:6
Clementine Vulgate · Berean Standard Bible
Si respiciens requisierit me pater tuus, respondebis ei : Rogavit me David ut iret celeriter in Bethlehem civitatem suam, quia victimæ solemnes ibi sunt universis contribulibus suis.
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.’
