Nabal answered David’s servants,“ Who is this David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants are breaking away from their masters these days.

And Nabal answered David’s servants,“ Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants these days who are breaking away from their masters.

“ Who is this fellow David?” Nabal sneered to the young men.“ Who does this son of Jesse think he is? There are lots of servants these days who run away from their masters.

Nabal asked them,“ Who is David? Who is Jesse’s son? Many slaves these days are running away from their masters.

But Nabal answered David’s servants and said,“ Who is David? And who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants today who are each breaking away from his master.

Then Nabal answered David’s servants, and said,“ Who is David, and who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants nowadays who break away each one from his master.

And Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, Who is David? and who is the son of Jesse? there are many servants now- a- days that break away every man from his master.

Nabal asked them,“ Who is David? Who is Jesse’s son? Many slaves these days are running away from their masters.

And Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, Who[ is] David? and who[ is] the son of Jesse? there be many servants now a days that break away every man from his master.

But Nabal responded to David’s servants,“ Who is David, and who is this son of Jesse? This is a time when many servants are breaking away from their masters!

Nabal answered David’s servants, and said,“ Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants who break away from their masters these days.

Then Gaal, the son of Ebed, said,“ Who is Abimelek? And who is Shechem? Why should we citizens of Shechem be under Abimelek’s rule? Isn’t he Jerub- Baal’s son? Isn’t Zebul his helper? It would be better to serve the family of Hamor. He was the father of Shechem. So why should we serve Abimelek?

Lord, have mercy on us. Have mercy on us, because people haven’t stopped making fun of us.We have had to put up with a lot from those who are proud. They were always laughing at us.

Saul said to them,“ Men of Benjamin, listen to me! Do you think Jesse’s son will give all of you fields and vineyards? Do you think he’ll make some of you commanders of thousands of men? Do you think he’ll make the rest of you commanders of hundreds?Is that why all of you have joined together against me? No one tells me when my son makes a covenant with Jesse’s son. None of you is concerned about me. No one tells me that my son has stirred up Jesse’s son to hide and wait to attack me. But that’s exactly what’s happening now.”

All the Israelites saw that the king refused to listen to them. So they answered the king. They said,“ We don’t have any share in David’s royal family. We don’t have any share in Jesse’s son. People of Israel, let’s go back to our homes. David’s royal family, take care of your own kingdom!” So the Israelites went home.

Pharaoh said,“ Who is the Lord? Why should I obey him? Why should I let Israel go? I don’t even know the Lord. And I won’t let Israel go.”

Everyone who was in trouble or owed money or was unhappy gathered around him. He became their commander. About 400 men were with him.

Saul became very angry with Jonathan. He said to him,“ You are an evil son. You have refused to obey me. I know that you are on the side of Jesse’s son. You should be ashamed of that. And your mother should be ashamed of having a son like you.

Those who are worthless use sinful methods. They make evil plans against poor people. They destroy them with their lies. They do it even when those people are right.

Many sins come out of their hard and stubborn hearts. There is no limit to the evil things they can think up.They laugh at others and speak words of hatred. They are proud. They warn others about the harm they can do to them.

An evil man who always stirred up trouble happened to be in Gilgal. His name was Sheba, the son of Bikri. Sheba was from the tribe of Benjamin. He blew his trumpet. Then he shouted,“ We don’t have any share in David’s kingdom! Jesse’s son is not our king! Men of Israel, every one of you go back home!”

Don’t say,“ Why were things better in the good old days?” It isn’t wise to ask that kind of question.

Foolish people won’t be considered noble anymore. Those who are worthless won’t be highly respected.
