1 SAMUEL 25:8 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
1 Sam 25:71 Sam 25:9
“Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.”
'Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on a feast day' — David appeals to testimony and to the festive occasion as rationale for hospitality. The 'feast day' (yôm ṭôb, יום טוב) traditionally called for generous provision, making Nabal's refusal not merely discourteous but a violation of ancient covenant obligations.
