1 Samuel 25:9-11

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁹ David’s young men went and said all these things to Nabal on David’s behalf,^[a] and they waited.^{[b] 10} Nabal asked them, “Who is David?^(A) Who is Jesse’s son? Many slaves these days are running away from their masters. ¹¹ Am I supposed to take my bread, my water, and my meat that I butchered for my shearers and give them to these men? I don’t know where they are from.”
