1 SAMUEL 25:7 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And now I have heard that thou hast shearers: now thy shepherds which were with us, we hurt them not, neither was there ought missing unto them, all the while they were in Carmel.”
'I heard that you have shearers; now your shepherds have been with us, and we did them no harm, and they missed nothing all the days they were in Carmel' — David catalogs his protective service as though presenting an invoice for payment. The shepherds' safety became David's responsibility through de facto patronage; the absence of loss ('lō' hišmᵉrû') marks the invisible protection of the strong over the weak.
