Thematic Bible: Nabal toward david

This is what he said: Who does this David think he is? That son of Jesse is just one more slave on the run from his master. There are too many of them now days.

David ordered: Everyone get your swords! They strapped on their swords. Two hundred men stayed behind to guard the camp. The other four hundred followed David. One of Nabal's servants told Nabal's wife Abigail: Have you heard? David sent some messengers from the wilderness with greetings for our master. He insulted them. Yet they were very good to us. They never bothered us. Nothing belonging to us was stolen at the time we were with them in the fields. They protected our sheep and us day and night the whole time we were with them. Consider what you should do because our master and his whole household are doomed. He is such a worthless man that it is useless to talk to him.
