1 Samuel 25:5-8 ▼

5 so he sent ten young men, instructing them: “Go up to Carmel. Pay Nabal a visit and greet him in my name.

6 Say to him, ‘Peace be with you, my brother, and with your family, and with all who belong to you.

7 I have just heard that shearers are with you. Now, when your shepherds were with us, we did them no injury, neither did they miss anything while they were in Carmel.

8 Ask your servants and they will tell you. Look kindly on these young men, since we come at a festival time. Please give your servants and your son David whatever you can.’”
