1 Samuel 25:11-13

New International Version - UK

¹¹ Why should I take my bread and water, and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give it to men coming from who knows where?’

¹² David’s men turned round and went back. When they arrived, they reported every word. ¹³ David said to his men, ‘Each of you strap on your sword!’ So they did, and David strapped his on as well. About four hundred men went up with David, while two hundred stayed with the supplies.
