« 1 Sam 241 Sam 251 Sam 26 »

4 that David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep. 5 So David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, come to Nabal, and greet him in my name; 6 and thus you shall say, ‘¹Have a long life; ^apeace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have. 7 So now I have heard ^athat you have shearers; now your shepherds have been with us; and we have not dishonored them, ^bnor have they missed 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 ^aa ¹festive day. Please give whatever you find at hand to your servants and to your son, to David.’”
9 Then David’s young men came and spoke to Nabal according to all these words in David’s name. Then they waited.
