Then he said to Geichazi [valley of vision], Get dressed for action, and take my staff in youri hand, and go on youri way: if youi meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute youi, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
And David [beloved] said unto Achi-Melekh [my brother is king], And is there not here under youi hand spear or sword? for I have neither brought my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.
