And when David's young men came, they spake to Nabal according to all those words in the name of David, and ceased.
Ver. 9. And ceased.] Heb., And rested; quiete se continuerunt, a they patiently heard Nabal inveighing against themselves and David, and replied not; this was excellent.
"Incessunt, taceo: culpant, fero; crimina spargunt,
Dissimulo: mordent, absque dolore meo.
Obtrectant, sileo: ringuntur, rideo: vulgo
Traducunt, patior: dant mihi damna, sino.
Exagitant, non exagitor: vexant, neque vexor:
Laedunt, non laedor: probra refutat honos."
