1 Samuel 25:6
That liveth in prosperity - The Hebrew is obscure, and is variously interpreted. The simplest rendering is, "And ye shall say thus about (his) life," i. e., with reference to his life, health, circumstances, etc.
4 When David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was ashearing his sheep,
5 David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.
6 And thus you shall say to him who lives in prosperity: a‘Peace be to you, peace to your house, and peace to all that you have!
7 Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds were with us, and we did not hurt them, anor was there anything missing from them all the while they were in Carmel.
8 Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore1 let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on aa feast day. Please give whatever comes to your hand to your servants and to your son David.’ ”
