thy shepherds:
In those times, and at the present day, wandering Arabs, under their several chiefs, think that they have a right to exact contributions of provisions, etc., wherever they come. But David, though he lived in the wilderness like the Arab emirs, had not adopted their manners. One of them, at the head of 600 men, would have demanded, from time to time, some provision or present from Nabal's servants, for permitting them to feed at quiet; and would have driven them away from the watering place upon any dislike. David had done nothing of this kind; but had protected them against those who would.
we hurt:
Heb. we shamed, "But the men²¹ [were] veryª goodª unto us, and we were not¹ hurt,ª° neither¹ missedª° we any thing,ª as long asª¹ we were conversantª° with¹ them, when we were¹ in the fields:ª ... They were¹ a wallª unto¹ us both¹ by nightª and¹ day,ª all¹ the whileª we were¹ with¹ them keepingª° the sheep.ª" {1Sm 25:15-16} + "Now Davidª had said,ª° Surely¹ in vainª have I keptª°¹ all¹ that¹ thisª [fellow] hath in the wilderness,ª so that nothingª¹ was missedª° of all¹¹ that¹ [pertained] unto him: and he hath requitedª° me evilª for¹ good.ª" {1Sm 25:21} + "And every¹ oneª [that was] in distress,ª and every¹ oneª that¹ [was] in debt,ª° and every¹ oneª [that was] discontented,ªª gathered²° themselves¹ unto¹ him; and he became¹ a captainª over¹ them: and there were¹ with¹ him about fourª hundredª men.ª" {1Sm 22:2} + "The wolfª also shall dwellª° with¹ the lamb,ª and the leopardª shall lie downª° with¹ the kid;ª and the calfª and the young lionª and the fatlingª together;ª and a littleª childª shall leadª° them. ... They shall not¹ hurtª° nor¹ destroyª° in all¹ my holyª mountain:ª for¹ the earthª shall be fullª° of the knowledgeª of¹ the LORD,ª as the watersª coverª° the sea.ª" {Isa 11:6-9} + "Andª the soldiersª° likewiseª demandedª° of him,ª saying,ª° Andª whatª shall we²¹ do?ª° Andª he saidª° untoª them,ª Do violenceª° to no man,ª neitherª accuse [any] falsely;ª° andª be contentª° with yourª wages.ª" {Lke 3:14} + "Thatª ye may beª° blamelessª andª harmless,ª the sonsª of God,ª without rebuke,ª inª the midstª of a crookedª andª perverseª° nation,ª amongª whomª ye shineª° asª lightsª inª the world;ª" {Php 2:15} + "Finally,ª brethren,ª whatsoever thingsª areª° true,ª whatsoever thingsª [are] honest,ª whatsoever thingsª [are] just,ª whatsoever thingsª [are] pure,ª whatsoever thingsª [are] lovely,ª whatsoever thingsª [are] of good report;ª if [there be] anyª virtue,ª andª if [there be] anyª praise,ª think²° on¹ these things.ª" {Php 4:8}
