36 And after she had kissed his hand, she said unto him, Behold, my lord, thine handmaiden hath got her a measure of tea, and it lacketh sweetness.
37 Therefore, I pray thee that thou givest unto me a morsel of sugar, for thy servant, she thirsteth mightily.
38 And when he saw how it was with her, he gave her a morsel of sugar, being the sugar that he had brought with him.
39 And after she had blessed his name, and the name of his father, and all his seed also, she returned unto her husband being well content.
40 And this was a thing that did happen because there was war in the land.
CHAPTER X.
1 The fighters from afar off. 4 Concerning the men of Cann. 10 Concerning the men of Anz. 20 Concerning the men of Saf. 24 The greeting of the damsels. 27 One is chosen. 31 She uses artifice. 34 The means of escape.
Now there was in the host of En a great number of men that did come from afar off; neither considered they distance as anything against the righteousness of a just cause.
2 And there were men of Anz, and men of Cann, and men of Ind, and men of Saf, and men that did come from other lands also. And all of them were hardy men and full of valour, so that no man could say concerning them, Behold, these people, they are more valiant than the others.
