1 Samuel 25:6-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁶ Then say this: ‘Long life to you,^[a] and peace to you, to your family, and to all that is yours.^{(A) 7} I hear that you are shearing.^[b] When your shepherds were with us, we did not harass them, and nothing of theirs was missing the whole time they were in Carmel.^{(B) 8} Ask your young men, and they will tell you. So let my young men find favor with you, for we have come on a feast^[c] day.^(C) Please give whatever you can afford to your servants and to your son David.’”
