1. 1 Samuel 25:16 (NEG79)
  2. Explication du texte

What does it mean that David's men were a wall to Nabal's shepherds both by night and by day?

1 Samuel 25:16 (NEG79)

16 Ils nous ont nuit et jour servi de muraille, tout le temps que nous avons été avec eux, faisant paître les troupeaux.

David and his men would have benefited Nabal’s shepherds by chasing off wild animals (see 1 Samuel 17:34) as well as any local brigands and robbers. By helping in this way, they ensured that the loss of sheep was kept to a minimum.
