1 Samuel 25:11-13

Contemporary English Version

¹¹ What makes you think I would take my bread, my water, and the meat that I've had cooked for my own servants^[a] and give it to you? Besides, I'm not sure that David sent you!^[b]

¹² The men returned to their camp and told David everything Nabal had said.

¹³ “Everybody get your swords!” David ordered.

They all strapped on their swords. Two hundred men stayed behind to guard the camp, but the other 400 followed David.
