(KJV.) GENESIS 31:25-31
Jacob flees from Laban
(25) Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount 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 taken with the sword?
(27) Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
(28) And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
(29) It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying; Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
(30) And now, though thou wouldn't needs be gone, because thou sore longest after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?
(31) And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me.
ADDENDUM
If Jacob served for his blessings; why did Laban pursue after him, was that because of his daughters or for his idols?
