1 Samuel 25:10-12

Contemporary English Version

¹⁰ This is what he said:

Who does this David think he is? That son of Jesse is just one more slave on the run from his master, and there are too many of them these days. ¹¹ What makes you think I would take my bread, my water, and the meat that I've had cooked for my own servants^[a] and give it to you? Besides, I'm not sure that David sent you!^[b]

¹² The men returned to their camp and told David everything Nabal had said.
