1 SAMUEL 25:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.”
Nabal answered the servants of David, 'Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants these days who are breaking away from their masters' — Nabal's contempt erupts in rhetorical mockery ('mî-dāwîd? ûmî-ben-yî śay?'), reducing David's growing stature to the level of a runaway slave. His words constitute a profound spiritual blindness, for he fails to recognize the hand of God elevating David.
