1 SAMUEL 25:6 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And thus shall ye say to him that liveth in prosperity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast.”
'Say to him: Peace be to you, and peace be to your house, and peace be to all that is yours' — David's greeting, 'Shalom lᵊkhā,' reflects the ancient Near Eastern protocol of deference and diplomatic courtesy. The sevenfold peace (thrice repeated) emphasizes harmony and blessing, yet Nabal's response will show the depth of his refusal to acknowledge the political realities of David's power.
