1 Samuel 25:9-11

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹ When David’s young men came, they said all this to Nabal in the name of David; and then they waited. ¹⁰ But Nabal answered David’s servants, “Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants today who are breaking away from their masters. ¹¹ Shall I take my bread and my water and the meat that I have butchered for my shearers, and give it to men who come from I do not know where?”
