1 Samuel 25:10-17
10But NabalH5037 answeredH6030 David’sH1732 servantsH5650 and saidH559, “1WhoH4310 is DavidH1732? And whoH4310 is the sonH1121 of JesseH3448? There areH7231 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 madeH2015 their wayH1870 backH2015 and returnedH7725; and they cameH935 and informedH5046 him in accordance with allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697. 13Then DavidH1732 saidH559 to his menH376, “EachH376 of you strapH2296 onH2296 his swordH2719.” So eachH376 manH376 strappedH2296 onH2296 his swordH2719. And DavidH1732 alsoH1571 strappedH2296 onH2296 his swordH2719, and about 4fourH702 hundredH3967 menH376 wentH5927 upH5927 behindH310 DavidH1732, while two hundredH3967 5stayedH3427 with the baggageH3627.
14Now oneH259 of the youngH5288 menH5288 toldH5046 AbigailH26, Nabal’sH5037 wifeH802, sayingH559, “BeholdH2009, DavidH1732 sentH7971 messengersH4397 from the wildernessH4057 to 67greetH1288 our masterH113, and he spokeH5860 to them inH5860 angerH5860. 15Yet the menH376 were veryH3966 goodH2896 to us, and we were not 8harmedH3637, norH3808 did anythingH3972 goH6485 missingH6485 9asH3605H3117 longH3605H3117 as we wentH1980 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 then, beH3045 awareH3045 and 11considerH7200 whatH4100 you should doH6213, becauseH3588 harmH7463 is plottedH3615 againstH413 our masterH113 and againstH5921 allH3605 his householdH1004; and he is suchH4480 a 12worthlessH1100 manH1121 thatH4480 noH4480 one can speakH1696 to him.”
