1 Samuel 25:11-13

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹¹ Shall I then ^(A)take my bread and my water and my meat that I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give it to men ^[a]whose origin I do not know?” ¹² So David’s young men retraced their way and went back; and they came and told him according to all these words. ¹³ David said to his men, “Each of you gird on his sword.” So each man girded on his sword. And David also girded on his sword, and about ^(B)four hundred men went up behind David while two hundred ^(C)stayed with the baggage.
