1 Samuel 25:10-11
25:10 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!
25:11 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!”
1 Samuel 25:17
25:17 Now be aware of this, and see what you can do. For disaster has been planned for our lord and his entire household.
1 He is such a wicked person
2 that no one tells him anything!”
1 Samuel 25:25
25:25 My lord should not pay attention to this wicked man Nabal. He simply lives up to his name! His name means ‘fool,’ and he is indeed foolish!
3 But I, your servant, did not see the servants my lord sent.
