1 Samuel 25:7-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁷ I have heard 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.

⁸ Ask your young men and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your sight, for we come at an opportune time. I pray you, give whatever you have at hand to your servants and to your son David.

⁹ And when David’s young men came, they said all this to Nabal in the name of David, and then paused.
