1 Samuel 25:12-16

So David’s young men made their way back and returned; and they came and informed him in accordance with all these words.

Then David said to his men, “Each of you strap on his sword.” So each man strapped on his sword. And David also strapped on his sword, and about four hundred men went up behind David, while two hundred stayed with the baggage.

Now one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Behold, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, and he spoke to them in anger.

Yet the men were very good to us, and we were not harmed, nor did anything go missing as long as we went with them, while we were in the fields.

They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the time we were with them tending the sheep.
