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.Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give[ it] unto men, whom I know not whence they[ be]?

Yet I will send my servants unto thee tomorrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be,[ that] whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put[ it] in their hand, and take[ it] away.Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see how this[ man] seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not[ unto him], nor consent.Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Benhadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.And Benhadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell[ him], Let not him that girdeth on[ his harness] boast himself as he that putteth it off.

A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

And Pharaoh said unto him, Get thee from me, take heed to thyself, see my face no more; for in[ that] day thou seest my face thou shalt die.
