²² And David letteth down the goods from off him on the hand of a keeper of the goods, and runneth into the rank, and cometh and asketh of his brethren of welfare.

¹⁴ and he saith to him, `Go, I pray thee, see the peace of thy brethren, and the peace of the flock, and bring me back word;' and he sendeth him from the valley of Hebron, and he cometh to Shechem.

¹⁵ And they turn aside thither, and come in unto the house of the young man the Levite, the house of Micah, and ask of him of welfare, --

²⁸ He hath come in against Aiath, He hath passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looketh after his vessels.

¹² And coming to the house salute it,

¹³ and if indeed the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; and if it be not worthy, let your peace turn back to you.

⁵ and into whatever house ye do enter, first say, Peace to this house;

⁶ and if indeed there may be there the son of peace, rest on it shall your peace; and if not so, upon you it shall turn back.
