9 Y como llegaron los criados de David, dijeron á Nabal todas estas palabras en nombre de David, y callaron.

10 Y Nabal respondió á los criados de David, y dijo: ¿Quién es David? ¿y quién es el hijo de Isaí? Muchos siervos hay hoy que se huyen de sus señores.

11 ¿He de tomar yo ahora mi pan, mi agua, y mi víctima que he preparado para mis esquiladores, y la daré á hombres que no sé de dónde son?

12 Y tornándose los criados de David, volviéronse por su camino, y vinieron y dijeron á David todas estas palabras.

13 Entonces David dijo á sus hombres: Cíñase cada uno su espada. Y ciñóse cada uno su espada: también David ciñó su espada; y subieron tras David como cuatrocientos hombres, y dejaron doscientos con el bagaje.
