In context

5And David sent ten young men, and he said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and ask him in my name how he is.

6And thus shall ye say, May thou and thy house seasonably prosper, and all thine be in prosperity.

— 1 Samuel 25:7 —

8Ask thy servants, and they will tell thee. Let then thy servants find grace in thine eyes, for we are come on a good day; give, we pray thee, whatsoever thy hand may find, to thy son David.

9So the servants come and speak these words to Nabal, according to all these words in the name of David.
