1 Samuel 25:12-17

1 Samuel 25:12-17 CSB

David’s young men retraced their steps. When they returned to him, they reported all these words. He said to his men, “All of you, put on your swords! ” So each man put on his sword, and David also put on his sword. About four hundred men followed David while two hundred stayed with the supplies.  One of Nabal’s young men informed Abigail, Nabal’s wife, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master,  but he screamed at them. The men treated us very well. When we were in the field, we weren’t harassed  and nothing of ours was missing the whole time we were living among them. They were a wall around us, both day and night,  the entire time we were with them herding the sheep. Now consider carefully  what you should do, because there is certain to be trouble for our master and his entire family. He is such a worthless fool nobody can talk to him! ”
