‏ 1 Samuel 17:20

20 So David got up early in the morning and entrusted the flock to someone else who would watch over it. ^{▼▼tn Heb “to a guard”; KJV, NASB, NRSV “with a keeper”; NIV11 “in the care of a shepherd.” Since in contemporary English “guard” sounds like someone at a military installation or a prison, the present translation uses “to someone else who would watch over it.”} After loading up, he went just as Jesse had instructed him. He arrived at the camp ^{▼▼tn Or “entrenchment.”} as the army was going out to the battle lines shouting its battle cry.
