1 Samuel 25:9 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 25:9

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.

11 ^aShall I then take my bread and my water and my¹ meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men when I do not know where they are from?”

12 So David’s young men turned on their heels and went back; and they came and told him all these words.

13 Then David said to his men, “Every man gird on his sword.” So every man girded on his sword, and David also girded on his sword. And about four hundred men went with David, and two hundred ^astayed with the supplies.
