Very kind and civil, yea, very useful and serviceable, even all the messengers David sent and Nabal railed on, yea, all David’s men, and therefore deserved better treatment than they met with from Nabal:<\/p>\n and we were not hurt<\/strong>; neither by them nor others:<\/p>\n neither missed we anything<\/strong>: of our flocks, or anything belonging to us; they neither robbed us themselves, nor suffered others to rob us:<\/p>\n as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields<\/strong>; feeding the sheep by them: thus he confirms everything that David said of himself and his men, [See comments on 1Sa 25:7]<\/span>: and says even more of them to their commendation, as follows.<\/p>\n (15) But the men were very good unto us.<\/strong>The young man in question who spoke thus to his mistress, Abigail, was evidently one in high authority in the sheep farms of Nabal. His testimony in 1Sa. 25:15-16<\/span>, respecting David is clear and decisive, and occurring as it does in the heart of an episode most discreditable to David, it bears weighty testimony to the admirable discipline and the kind forethought of the son of Jesse in times when lawlessness and pillage would have been, if not excusable, certainly to be expected. The great powers of the future king were admirably displayed in this difficult period of his life. Few men could have so moulded a wild company of free lances into a force which, according to the rather unwilling testimony of these shepherds of Nabals, was positively a blessing to the country, instead of being, as these bands of free lances usually have been, a terrible curse.<\/p>\n 1Sa 25:15 But the men [were] very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields:<\/p>\n Ver. 15.
