of this parched grain, and these ten loaves, and carry them quickly to the camp to your brothers.
18 bAlso take these ten cheeses to the commander of their thousand. cSee if your brothers are well, and bring some token from them.”

And he came to dthe encampment as the host was going out to the battle line, shouting the war cry.
