Proverbs 27:23Wycliffe's Bible with Modern SpellingKnow thou diligently the cheer of thy beast; and behold thou thy flocks. See the chapter |
Also he builded towers in the wilderness, and digged full many cisterns; for he had many beasts, as well in the field places, as in the vastness of desert. Also he had vineries [or vines], and tillers of vines in the hills, and in Carmel or the great mountains; for he was a man given to earth-tilling.
And when Eliab, his more brother or the elder brother of David, had heard this, while he spake with other men, he was wroth against David, and said, Why camest thou hither, and why hast thou left those few sheep in desert? I know thy pride, and the waywardness of thine heart; for thou camest down to see the battle.
