A Message of Peace
Abigail Turns David from Bloodshed · 1 Samuel 25
Story guide: David sends young men to request provisions after protecting Nabal's shepherds.
Open this scene in the reader →4While David was in the wilderness, he heard that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
5So David sent ten young men and told them, “Go up to Carmel, go to Nabal, and ask after his well-being in my name.
6And say this: ‘Long life to you! Peace to you, peace to your household, and peace to all that is yours.
7Now I have heard that your sheep are being shorn. Your shepherds were with us, and we did not mistreat them; nothing of theirs went missing the whole time they were in Carmel.
8Ask your young men, and they will tell you. So may these young men find favor with you, for we have come on a festive day. Please give whatever you have available to your servants and to your son David.’”
