શું હું મારી રોટલી, પાણી તથા માંસ જે મેં મારાં ઘેટાંને કાતરનારાઓને સારું કાપેલું માંસ જે માણસો ક્યાંથી આવેલા છે એ હું જાણતો નથી તેઓને આપું?”

क्या मैं अपनी रोटी-पानी और जो पशु मैंने अपने कतरनेवालों के लिये मारे हैं लेकर ऐसे लोगों को दे दूँ, जिनको मैं नहीं जानता कि कहाँ के हैं?”

In context

9When David’s young men came, they spoke to Nabal all those words in the name of David, and waited.

10Nabal 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.

11Shall I then take my bread, my water, and my meat that I have killed for my shearers, and give it to men who I don’t know where they come from?”

12So David’s young men turned on their way and went back, and came and told him all these words.

13David said to his men, “Every man put on his sword!” Every man put on his sword. David also put on his sword. About four hundred men followed David, and two hundred stayed by the baggage.
