1 Samuel 25:4-8

Rotherham(i) 4 So then David heard in the wilderness,––that Nabal was shearing his sheep. 5 David, therefore, sent ten young men,––and David said unto the young men,––Go up to Carmel, and enter in unto Nabal, and ye shall ask him, in my name, of his welfare; 6 and say thus––Long life to thee! Mayest, thou, prosper, And, thy household, prosper, And, all that thou hast, prosper! 7 Now, therefore, have I heard that thou hast shearers,––Well, the shepherds that thou hast, have been with us, we reproached them not, neither missed they, anything, all the days they were in Carmel. 8 Ask thy young men, that they may tell thee, that so my young men may find favour in thine eyes, for, on a good day, have we come! Give, I pray thee, what thy hand findeth, to thy servants, and to thy son, to David!
