KJV
If thy father at all miss me, then say,
David earnestly asked [leave] of me that he might run to Bethlehem his city:
for [there is] a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.
BSB
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.’
