“they were a wall unto us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep. ”
“Both night and day they were a protective wall for us the entire time we were with them, while we were tending our flocks.”
“They were a wall unto us, both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.”
“But day and night they were like a wall round us while we were with them, looking after the sheep.”
“They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.”
David 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.
But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, "Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to Greet our master; and he railed at them.
But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we anything, as long as we went with them, when we were in the fields.
They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep.
Now therefore know and consider what you will do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his house; for he is such a worthless fellow that one can't speak to him."
Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread, two bottles of wine, five sheep ready dressed, five measures of parched grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on donkeys.
She said to her young men, "Go on before me. Behold, I come after you." But she didn't tell her husband, Nabal.
