9. And when the naarei Dovid came, they spoke to Naval according to all those devarim b'shem Dovid, and ceased.
10. And Naval answered the avadim of Dovid, and said, Who is Dovid? And who is Ben Yishai? There be many avadim nowadays who break away every ish from his adon.
11. Shall I then take my lechem, and my mayim, and my meat that I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give it unto anashim who come from I know not where?
12. So the ne'arim of Dovid turned to their derech, and went back, and came and told him all those devarim.
13. And Dovid said unto his anashim, Gird ye on every ish his cherev. And they girded on every ish his cherev; and Dovid also girded on his cherev; and there went up after Dovid about arba me'ot ish; and two hundred stayed by the kelim (supplies).
