1 Samuel 25:5-8 ▼

5 So David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, come to Nabal, and greet him in my name;

6 and thus you shall say, ‘Have a long life; peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have.

7 So now I have heard that you have shearers; now your shepherds have been with us; and we have not dishonored them, nor have they missed anything all the days they were in Carmel.

8 Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we have come on a festive day. Please give whatever you find at hand to your servants and to your son, to David.’”
