1 Samuel 25:10-17

10But NabalH5037 answeredH6030 David’sH1732 servantsH5650 and saidH559, “1WhoH4310 is DavidH1732? And whoH4310 is the sonH1121 of JesseH3448? There are manyH7231 servantsH5650 todayH3117 who are eachH376 breakingH6555 awayH6555 from his masterH113. 11Shall I then 2takeH3947 my breadH3899 and my waterH4325 and my meatH2878 that I have slaughteredH2873 for my shearersH1494, and giveH5414 it to menH376 3whoseH834 originH4480H2088H335 I do not knowH3045?” 12So David’sH1732 youngH5288 menH5288 retracedH2015 their wayH1870 and wentH7725 backH7725; and they cameH935 and toldH5046 him according to allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697. 13DavidH1732 saidH559 to his menH376, “EachH376 of you girdH2296 on his swordH2719.” So eachH376 manH376 girdedH2296 on his swordH2719. And DavidH1732 alsoH1571 girdedH2296 on his swordH2719, and about 4fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376 wentH5927 up behindH310 DavidH1732 while two hundredH3967 5stayedH3427 with the baggageH3627.

14But oneH259 of the youngH5288 menH5288 toldH5046 AbigailH26, Nabal’sH5037 wifeH802, sayingH559, “BeholdH2009, DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397 from the wildernessH4057 to 67greetH1288 our masterH113, and he scornedH5860 them. 15Yet the menH376 were veryH3966 goodH2896 to us, and we were not 8insultedH3637, norH3808 did we missH6485 anythingH3972 9as longH3605H3117 as we wentH1980 about with them, while we were in the fieldsH7704. 1610They were a wallH2346 to us bothH1571 by nightH3915 and by dayH3119, allH3605 the timeH3117 we were with them tendingH7462 the sheepH6629. 17NowH6258 therefore, knowH3045 and 11considerH7200 whatH4100 you should doH6213, for evilH7463 is plottedH3615 againstH413 our masterH113 and againstH5921 allH3605 his householdH1004; and he is such a 12worthlessH1100 manH1121 that noH4480 one can speakH1696 to him.”
