Page 3 / 5 (1Sa 25:5–2Ki 4:19)
so David sent ten young men instructing them, “Go up to Carmel, and when you come to Nabal, greet him[fn] in my name.
“Ask your young men, and they will tell you. So let my young men find favor with you, for we have come on a feast[fn] day. Please give whatever you have on hand to your servants and to your son David.’ ”
David’s young men retraced their steps. When they returned to him, they reported all these words.
One of Nabal’s young men informed Abigail, Nabal’s wife, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, but he screamed at them.
Then she said to her male servants, “Go ahead of me. I will be right behind you.” But she did not tell her husband, Nabal.
“Let this gift your servant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who follow my lord.
David answered, “Here is the king’s spear; have one of the young men come over and get it.
Then David said to him, “Who do you belong to? Where are you from? ”
“I’m an Egyptian, the slave of an Amalekite man,” he said. “My master abandoned me when I got sick three days ago.
David slaughtered them from twilight until the evening of the next day. None of them escaped, except four hundred young men who got on camels and fled.
David asked the young man who had brought him the report, “How do you know Saul and his son Jonathan are dead? ”
“I happened to be on Mount Gilboa,” he replied, “and there was Saul, leaning on his spear. At that very moment the chariots and the cavalry were closing in on him.
David inquired of the young man who had brought him the report, “Where are you from? ”
“I’m the son of a resident alien,” he said. “I’m an Amalekite.”
Then David summoned one of his servants and said, “Come here and kill him! ” The servant struck him, and he died.
Then Abner said to Joab, “Let’s have the young men get up and compete in front of us.”
“Let them get up,” Joab replied.
Abner said to him, “Turn to your right or left, seize one of the young soldiers, and take whatever you can get from him.” But Asahel would not stop chasing him.
So David gave orders to the young men, and they killed Rechab and Baanah. They cut off their hands and feet and hung their bodies by the pool in Hebron, but they took Ish-bosheth’s head and buried it in Abner’s tomb in Hebron.
Then the king summoned Saul’s attendant Ziba and said to him, “I have given to your master’s grandson all that belonged to Saul and his family.
David pleaded with God for the boy. He fasted, went home, and spent the night lying on the ground.
Instead, he called to the servant who waited on him, “Get this away from me, throw her out, and bolt the door behind her! ”
Now Absalom commanded his young men, “Watch Amnon until he is in a good mood from the wine. When I order you to strike Amnon, then kill him. Don’t be afraid. Am I not the one who has commanded you? Be strong and valiant! ”
So Absalom’s young men did to Amnon just as Absalom had commanded. Then all the rest of the king’s sons got up, and each fled on his mule.
But Jonadab, son of David’s brother Shimeah, spoke up: “My lord must not think they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons, because only Amnon is dead. In fact, Absalom has planned this[fn] ever since the day Amnon disgraced his sister Tamar.
Meanwhile, Absalom had fled. When the young man who was standing watch looked up, there were many people coming from the road west of him from the side of the mountain.[fn]
Then the king said to Joab, “I hereby grant this request. Go, bring back the young man Absalom.”
When David had gone a little beyond the summit,[fn] Ziba, Mephibosheth’s servant, was right there to meet him. He had a pair of saddled donkeys loaded with two hundred loaves of bread, one hundred clusters of raisins, one hundred bunches of summer fruit, and a clay jar of wine.
The king said to Ziba, “Why do you have these? ”
Ziba answered, “The donkeys are for the king’s household to ride, the bread and summer fruit are for the young men to eat, and the wine is for those to drink who become exhausted in the wilderness.”
However, a young man did see them and informed Absalom. So the two left quickly and came to the house of a man in Bahurim. He had a well in his courtyard, and they climbed down into it.
The king commanded Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, “Treat the young man Absalom gently for my sake.” All the people heard the king’s orders to all the commanders about Absalom.
ten young men who were Joab’s armor-bearers surrounded Absalom, struck him, and killed him.
The king asked, “Is the young man Absalom all right? ”
Ahimaaz replied, “When Joab sent the king’s servant and your servant, I saw a big disturbance, but I don’t know what it was.”
The king asked the Cushite, “Is the young man Absalom all right? ”
The Cushite replied, “I wish that the enemies of my lord the king, along with all who rise up against you with evil intent, would become like that young man.”
There were a thousand men from Benjamin with him. Ziba, an attendant from the house of Saul, with his fifteen sons and twenty servants also rushed down to the Jordan ahead of the king.
One of Joab’s young men had stood over Amasa saying, “Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David, follow Joab! ”
“LORD my God, you have now made your servant king in my father David’s place. Yet I am just a youth with no experience in leadership.[fn]
Hadad fled to Egypt, along with some Edomites from his father’s servants. At the time Hadad was a small boy.
Now the man Jeroboam was capable, and Solomon noticed the young man because he was getting things done. So he appointed him over the entire labor force of the house of Joseph.
“Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will happen to the boy.”
Then Jeroboam’s wife got up and left and went to Tirzah. As she was crossing the threshold of the house, the boy died.
Then he said to his servant, “Go up and look toward the sea.”
So he went up, looked, and said, “There’s nothing.”
Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.”
Then Elijah became afraid[fn] and immediately ran for his life. When he came to Beer-sheba that belonged to Judah, he left his servant there,
Ahab asked, “By whom? ”
And the prophet said, “This is what the LORD says: ‘By the young men of the provincial leaders.’ ”
Then he asked, “Who is to start the battle? ”
He said, “You.”
So Ahab mobilized the young men of the provincial leaders, and there were 232. After them he mobilized all the Israelite troops: 7,000.
The young men of the provincial leaders marched out first. Then Ben-hadad sent out scouts, and they reported to him, saying, “Men are marching out of Samaria.”
The young men of the provincial leaders and the army behind them marched out from the city,
