1 Samuel 25:9-11

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁹ And when David’s young men came, they said all this to Nabal in the name of David, and then paused.

¹⁰ And Nabal answered David’s servants and said, Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants nowadays who are each breaking away from his master.

¹¹ Shall I then take my bread and my water, and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men when I do not know where they belong?
