1 Samuel 25:4-8 And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.

TKJU⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ And David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep. ⁵ And David sent out ten young men, and David said to the young men, "Get yourselves up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name: ⁶ And you shall say thus to him that lives in prosperity, 'Peace be both to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that you have. ⁷ And now I have heard that you have shearers: Now your shepherds which were with us, we did not hurt them, neither was there anything missing to them, all the while they were in Carmel. ⁸ Ask your young men, and they will show you. Therefore let the young men find favor in your eyes: For we come in a good day: Give, I implore you, whatever comes to your hand to your servants, and to your son David.' "
