1 Samuel 25:10 meaning and explanation

But Nabal asked them, “Who is David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants these days are breaking away from their masters.

1 Samuel 25:10, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Nabal speaks these words to David's ten young men, who have come at sheep-shearing time asking for provisions in return for the protection David's men gave his shepherds. His questions are a deliberate refusal to acknowledge David, and calling him "this son of Jesse" rather than by name dismisses him as merely another runaway servant.
