Genesis 31:19-23

Laban had gone to shear his flock, and Rachel stole the household idols that were her father’s.

And Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was fleeing.

So he fled with all that he had; and he got up and crossed the Euphrates River, and set out for the hill country of Gilead. Laban Pursues Jacob

When Laban was informed on the third day that Jacob had fled,

he took his kinsmen with him and pursued him a distance of seven days’ journey, and he overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.
