1 Samuel 25:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² So the servants of David went back their way, and returning came and told him all the words that he said.

¹³ Then David said to his young men: Let every man gird on his sword. And they girded on every man his sword. And David also girded on his sword: and there followed David about four hundred men: and two hundred remained with the baggage.

¹⁴ But one of the servants told Abigail the wife of Nabal, saying: Behold David sent messengers out of the wilderness, to salute our master: and he rejected them.
