1 Samuel 25:10-12

New International Version - UK

¹⁰ Nabal answered David’s servants, ‘Who is this David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants are breaking away from their masters these days. ¹¹ Why should I take my bread and water, and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give it to men coming from who knows where?’

¹² David’s men turned round and went back. When they arrived, they reported every word.
