1 Samuel 25:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 And thus shall ye say [a][b]for salutation, Both thou, and thine house, and all that thou hast, be in peace, wealth and prosperity.
7 Behold, I have heard, that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds were with us, and we did them no hurt, neither did they miss anything all the while they were in Carmel.
8 Ask thy servants, and they will show thee. Wherefore let these young men find favor in thine eyes: (for we come in a good season) give, I pray thee, whatsoever [c]cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.

1 Samuel 25:6-8
New International Version
6 Say to him: ‘Long life to you! Good health(A) to you and your household! And good health to all that is yours!(B)
7 “‘Now I hear that it is sheep-shearing time. When your shepherds were with us, we did not mistreat(C) them, and the whole time they were at Carmel nothing of theirs was missing. 8 Ask your own servants and they will tell you. Therefore be favorable toward my men, since we come at a festive time. Please give your servants and your son David whatever(D) you can find for them.’”
