1 Samuel 25:6-11
English Standard Version
Chapter 25
6And thus you shall greet him: ‘Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have. 7I hear that you have shearers. Now your shepherds have been with us, and we did them no harm, and they missed nothing all the time they were in Carmel. 8Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on a feast day. Please give whatever you have at hand to your servants and to your son David.’"
9When David 's young men came, they said all this to Nabal in the name of David, and then they waited.
10And Nabal answered David 's servants, "Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants these days who are breaking away from their masters.
11Shall I take my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers and give it to men who come from I do not know where?"
