1 Samuel 25:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ “ ‘I have heard that you have shearers. Now your shepherds were with us. We did not harm them nor did they miss anything all the days they were in Carmel. ⁸ Ask your young men and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we have come on a good day. Please give whatever you find at hand to your servants, and to your son David.’ ”

⁹ When David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all these words in the name of David, then they waited.
