1 Samuel 25:8
Compare all
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.’ ”  
9 So when David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all these words in the name of David, and waited.
10 Then Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, a“Who is David, and who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants nowadays who break away each one from his master.

1 Samuel 25:8

Whatsoever cometh to thine hand - As thou art making a great feast for thy servants, and I and my men, as having essentially served thee, would naturally come in for a share were we present; send a portion by my ten young men, for me and my men, that we also may rejoice with you. Certainly this was a very reasonable and a very modest request. This mode of address is not unfrequent among the Hindoos: "O father, fill the belly of thy son; he is in distress."
