1 Samuel 25:9-11

New English Translation

⁹ So David’s servants went and spoke all these words to Nabal in David’s name. Then they paused. ¹⁰ But Nabal responded to David’s servants, “Who is David, and who is this son of Jesse? This is a time when many servants are breaking away from their masters! ¹¹ Should I take my bread and my water and my meat that I have slaughtered for my shearers and give them to these men? I don’t even know where they came from!”
