1 Samuel 25:8

Alkitab Terjemahan Lama

Baiklah tuan bertanya akan hal itu kepada orang-orang tuan, maka mereka itu menyatakan dia kepada tuan kelak. Maka sebab itu biarlah orang muda-muda ini beroleh kasihan kepada pemandangan tuan, karena kami datang mendapatkan tuan pada hari yang baik; maka berikanlah kiranya barang sependapat tanganmu kepada hamba tuan ini dan kepada Daud, anak tuan.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ask thy young men, and they will show thee,.... The shepherds before mentioned, who kept their flocks hard by them:

wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes; the ten young men David sent to Nabal:

for we are come in a good day; a day in which Nabal made a feast for his shearers, as was usual then, and still is, see 2 Samuel 13:23; and at such times as persons are generally cheerful and merry, so free and liberal, and as there were plenty of provisions, not only enough for the guests and shearers, but to spare, and there was no need for an increase of expense, it might upon the whole be concluded it was a proper time for David to apply for accommodations for himself and his men:

give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants,

and to thy son David; he did not request anything extraordinary of him, or to put him to any expense, but what was at hand, and he could spare, he prayed him to deliver to the young men he sent, for their use, and the use of other his servants, and particularly David, who styled himself his son, being of the same tribe with Nabal, and Nabal his senior.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 25:8. Whatsoever cometh to thine hand — As thou art making a great feast for thy servants, and I and my men, as having essentially served thee, would naturally come in for a share were we present; send a portion by my ten young men, for me and my men, that we also may rejoice with you. Certainly this was a very reasonable and a very modest request. This mode of address is not unfrequent among the Hindoos: "O father, fill the belly of thy son; he is in distress."
