1 Samuel 25:10 Context
8Aske thy yong men, and they will shew thee: wherefore let the yong men finde fauour in thine eyes: (for we come in a good day) giue, I pray thee, whatsoeuer commeth to thine hand, vnto thy seruants, and to thy sonne Dauid. 9And when Dauids yong men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of Dauid, and ceased. 10¶ And Nabal answered Dauids seruants, and said, Who is Dauid? and who is the sonne of Iesse? There bee many seruants now a daies that breake away euery man from his master. 11Shall I then take my bread and my water, and my flesh that I haue killed for my shearers, and giue it vnto men, whom I know not whence they bee? 12So Dauids yong men turned their way, and went againe, and came and told him all those sayings.
