Genesis 31:23-28 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

23. And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and he overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.

24. And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said unto him, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

25. And Laban came up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mountain of Gilead.

26. And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters as captives of the sword?

27. Wherefore didst thou flee secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tabret and with harp;

28. and hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? now hast thou done foolishly.
