1 Samuel 25:4-8

4that David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep. 5So David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel and 1visit Nabal, and greet him in my name; 6and this is what you shall say: ‘2Have a long life, 3peace to you, and peace to your house, and peace to all that you have! 7Now then, I have heard 4that you have shearers. Now, your shepherds have been with us; we have not harmed them, 5nor has anything of theirs gone missing all the days they were in Carmel. 8Ask your young men and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we have come on 6a 7festive day. Please give whatever you find at hand to your servants and to your son David.’”
