When David had gone a little beyond the summit of the Mount of Olives, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, was waiting there for him. He had two donkeys loaded with 200 loaves of bread, 100 clusters of raisins, 100 bunches of summer fruit, and a wineskin full of wine.

Giving a gift can open doors; it gives access to important people!

Don’t put it off; do it now! Don’t rest until you do.Save yourself like a gazelle escaping from a hunter, like a bird fleeing from a net.

And Moses said to Aaron,“ Quick, take an incense burner and place burning coals on it from the altar. Lay incense on it, and carry it out among the people to purify them and make them right with the Lord. The Lord’s anger is blazing against them— the plague has already begun.”Aaron did as Moses told him and ran out among the people. The plague had already begun to strike down the people, but Aaron burned the incense and purified the people.He stood between the dead and the living, and the plague stopped.

They brought sleeping mats, cooking pots, serving bowls, wheat and barley, flour and roasted grain, beans, lentils,honey, butter, sheep, goats, and cheese for David and those who were with him. For they said,“ You must all be very hungry and tired and thirsty after your long march through the wilderness.”

Jacob stayed where he was for the night. Then he selected these gifts from his possessions to present to his brother, Esau:200 female goats, 20 male goats, 200 ewes, 20 rams,30 female camels with their young, 40 cows, 10 bulls, 20 female donkeys, and 10 male donkeys.He divided these animals into herds and assigned each to different servants. Then he told his servants,“ Go ahead of me with the animals, but keep some distance between the herds.”He gave these instructions to the men leading the first group:“ When my brother, Esau, meets you, he will ask,‘ Whose servants are you? Where are you going? Who owns these animals?’You must reply,‘ They belong to your servant Jacob, but they are a gift for his master Esau. Look, he is coming right behind us.’”Jacob gave the same instructions to the second and third herdsmen and to all who followed behind the herds:“ You must say the same thing to Esau when you meet him.And be sure to say,‘ Look, your servant Jacob is right behind us.’” Jacob thought,“ I will try to appease him by sending gifts ahead of me. When I see him in person, perhaps he will be friendly to me.”

A secret gift calms anger; a bribe under the table pacifies fury.

And people from as far away as Issachar, Zebulun, and Naphtali brought food on donkeys, camels, mules, and oxen. Vast supplies of flour, fig cakes, clusters of raisins, wine, olive oil, cattle, sheep, and goats were brought to the celebration. There was great joy throughout the land of Israel.

“ When you are on the way to court with your adversary, settle your differences quickly. Otherwise, your accuser may hand you over to the judge, who will hand you over to an officer, and you will be thrown into prison.

So their father, Jacob, finally said to them,“ If it can’t be avoided, then at least do this. Pack your bags with the best products of this land. Take them down to the man as gifts— balm, honey, gum, aromatic resin, pistachio nuts, and almonds.Also take double the money that was put back in your sacks, as it was probably someone’s mistake.Then take your brother, and go back to the man.May God Almighty give you mercy as you go before the man, so that he will release Simeon and let Benjamin return. But if I must lose my children, so be it.”

For I swear by the Lord, the God of Israel, who has kept me from hurting you, that if you had not hurried out to meet me, not one of Nabal’s men would still be alive tomorrow morning.”
