My blessing

And he lodged there that night. Then he took {from what he had with him} a gift for Esau his brother:

And she said to him, "Give to me a gift; you have given me the land of the Negev, and you must give to me a spring of water." And he gave to her the upper and lower spring.

And she said to him, "Give me {a gift}; you have given me the land of the Negev, and give me also a spring of water." And Caleb gave to her the upper and lower spring.

So then, this gift which your female servant has brought to my lord, may it be given to the young men {who follow my lord}.

Then David came to Ziklag, and he sent some of the plunder to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, "{Here is} a gift for you from the plunder of the enemies of Yahweh!"

When he returned to the man of God, he and all of his army, he came and stood before him and said, "Please now, I know that there is no God in all of the world except in Israel. So then, please take a gift from your servant."

Therefore I considered [it] necessary to urge the brothers that they should go on ahead to you and make arrangements in advance for your generous gift that was promised previously, so this would be prepared as a generous gift and not as grudgingly granted.

And because

Then Esau said, "{I have enough} my brother; {keep what you have}."

Not that I speak from need, for I have learned to be content in whatever [circumstances] I am.

Enough

What then shall we say about these [things]? If God [is] for us, who [can be] against us?

So then, let no one boast in people. For all [things] are yours,

as grieving, but always rejoicing, as poor, but making many rich, as having nothing, and possessing everything.

I know [how] both {to make do with little} and I know [how] {to have an abundance}. In everything and in all [things] I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both {to have an abundance} and to go without.

For the training of the body is {somewhat} profitable, but godliness is profitable for everything, [because it] holds promise for the present life and for the [life] to come.

Urged him

But they urged him until embarrassing [him], so he said, "Send them." So they sent fifty men, and they looked for three days, but they could not find him.

And he said, "{As Yahweh lives}, before whom I stand, I surely will not take [it]." [Still] he urged him to take [it], but he refused.

And the master said to the slave, 'Go out into the highways and hedges and press [them] to come in, so that my house will be filled!
