1 Samuel 25:6-8

The Voice

⁶ “Live long. Peace be to you, your entire household, and all you possess. ⁷ I hear that it is time to shear the sheep. I want you to know that your shepherds have been among us in the wilderness, and not only did we not harm them, but not an animal was taken during their time among us in Carmel. ⁸ Ask your young men; they will tell you this is true. Please return our kindness and look on my young men with favor since we come on this feast day. Please give whatever you can spare to them and to your son David.”
