Tanyakanlah kepada orang-orangmu, mereka tentu akan memberitahukan kepadamu. Sebab itu biarlah orang-orang ini mendapat belas kasihanmu; bukankah kami ini datang pada hari raya? Berikanlah kepada hamba-hambamu ini dan kepada anakmu Daud apa yang ada padamu."

Tanyakanlah kepada orang-orangmu, mereka tentu akan memberitahukan kepadamu. Sebab itu biarlah orang-orang ini mendapat belas kasihanmu; bukankah kami ini datang pada hari raya? Berikanlah kepada hamba-hambamu ini dan kepada anakmu Daud apa yang ada padamu."
Alkitab Terjemahan Lama
Baiklah tuan bertanya akan hal itu kepada orang-orang tuan, maka mereka itu menyatakan dia kepada tuan kelak. Maka sebab itu biarlah orang muda-muda ini beroleh kasihan kepada pemandangan tuan, karena kami datang mendapatkan tuan pada hari yang baik; maka berikanlah kiranya barang sependapat tanganmu kepada hamba tuan ini dan kepada Daud, anak tuan.

Contextual Overview

2 And ther was a man in Maon, whose possession was in Carmel, and the man was exceeding mightie, and had three thousande sheepe & a thousand goates: And he was shearing his sheepe in Carmel. 3 The name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wyfe was Abigail, and she was a woman of a singuler wysedome, and beautifull: But the man was churlishe, and of shrewde conditions, & was of the kinred of Caleb. 4 And Dauid hearde in the wildernesse, that Nabal did sheare his sheepe. 5 And Dauid sent out ten young men, and sayd vnto them: Get you vp to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and greete him in my name. 6 And ye shal say: So mayest thou lyue, peace be to thee, peace be to thyne house, and peace be vnto all that thou hast. 7 Beholde I haue hearde say that thou hast shearers: Nowe, thy shepheardes were with vs, & we did them no spite, neither was there ought missing vnto them al the while they were in Carmel: 8 Aske thy laddes, & they will shew thee: Wherfore let these young men finde fauour in thyne eyes (for we come in a good season) & geue I pray thee whatsoeuer commeth to thyne hande vnto thy seruauntes, and to thy sonne Dauid. 9 And when Dauids young men came, they told Nabal all those wordes in the name of Dauid: and helde their peace. 10 And Nabal aunswered Dauids seruauntes, and said: Who is Dauid? and who is ye sonne of Isai? There is plentie of seruauntes now a dayes that breake away euery man from his maister. 11 Shal I then take my bread, my water, and my fleshe that I haue killed for my shearers, and geue it vnto men whom I wot not whence they be?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ask thy young men, and they will show thee,.... The shepherds before mentioned, who kept their flocks hard by them:

wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes; the ten young men David sent to Nabal:

for we are come in a good day; a day in which Nabal made a feast for his shearers, as was usual then, and still is, see 2 Samuel 13:23; and at such times as persons are generally cheerful and merry, so free and liberal, and as there were plenty of provisions, not only enough for the guests and shearers, but to spare, and there was no need for an increase of expense, it might upon the whole be concluded it was a proper time for David to apply for accommodations for himself and his men:

give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants,

and to thy son David; he did not request anything extraordinary of him, or to put him to any expense, but what was at hand, and he could spare, he prayed him to deliver to the young men he sent, for their use, and the use of other his servants, and particularly David, who styled himself his son, being of the same tribe with Nabal, and Nabal his senior.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Samuel 25:8. Whatsoever cometh to thine hand — As thou art making a great feast for thy servants, and I and my men, as having essentially served thee, would naturally come in for a share were we present; send a portion by my ten young men, for me and my men, that we also may rejoice with you. Certainly this was a very reasonable and a very modest request. This mode of address is not unfrequent among the Hindoos: "O father, fill the belly of thy son; he is in distress."
