1 Samuel 25:10-13

10 And Nabal answered David’s servants, ^a“Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? ^bThere are many servants these days who are breaking away from their masters. 11 Shall I take ^cmy bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers and give it to ^dmen who come from I do not know where?” 12 So David’s young men turned away and came back and told him all this. 13 And David said to his men, “Every man strap on his sword!” And every man of them strapped on his sword. David also strapped on his sword. And ^eabout four hundred men went up after David, ^fwhile two hundred ^gremained with the baggage.
