1 Samuel 25:4-8

1 Samuel 25:4-8 CSB

While David was in the wilderness, he heard that Nabal was shearing sheep, so David sent ten young men instructing them, “Go up to Carmel, and when you come to Nabal, greet him  in my name. Then say this: ‘Long life to you,  and peace to you, peace to your family, and peace to all that is yours.  I hear that you are shearing.  When your shepherds were with us, we did not harass them, and nothing of theirs was missing the whole time they were in Carmel.  Ask your young men, and they will tell you. So let my young men find favor with you, for we have come on a feast  day.  Please give whatever you have on hand to your servants and to your son David.’ ”
