1 Samuel 25:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ “Behold, I have heard that you have shearers. Now, your shepherds were with us, and we did not hurt them, nor did they lose anything all the time they were in Carmel.

⁸ “Ask your servants and they will tell you. Therefore, let these young men find favor in your eyes, for we have come on a good day. Please give whatever comes to hand to your servants, and to your son David.”

⁹ And when David’s young men came, they told Nabal all those words in the name of David, and then held their peace.
