1 Samuel 25:7 CPDV

⁵  he sent ten young men, and he said to them: 'Ascend to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greet him in my name peacefully.

⁶  And you shall say: 'Peace be to my brothers and to you, and peace to your house, and peace to whatever you have.

⁷  I have heard that your shepherds, who were with us in the desert, were shearing. We have never troubled them, nor was anything from the flock missing to them at any time, during the entire time that they have been with us in Carmel.

⁸  Question your servants, and they will tell you. Now therefore, may your servants find favor in your eyes. For we have arrived on a good day. Whatever your hand will find, give it to your servants and to your son David.'

⁹  And when the servants of David had arrived, they spoke to Nabal all these words in the name of David. And then they were silent.
