1 Samuel 25:15

15 Those men were very good to us. They didn't mistreat us, and we found that nothing was missing wherever we went with them when we were in the fields.

1 Samuel 25:15 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 25:15

But the men [were] very good unto us
Very kind and civil, yea, very useful and serviceable, even all the messengers David sent and Nabal railed on, yea, all David's men, and therefore deserved better treatment than they met with from Nabal:

and we were not hurt;
neither by them nor others:

neither missed we anything:
of our flocks, or anything belonging to us; they neither robbed us themselves, nor suffered others to rob us:

as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields;
feeding the sheep by them: thus he confirms everything that David said of himself and his men, (See Gill on 1 Samuel 25:7): and says even more of them to their commendation, as follows.

1 Samuel 25:15 In-Context

13 "Each of you put on your swords!" David told his men. And everyone, including David, put on his sword. About four hundred men went with David, while two hundred men stayed with the supplies.
14 One of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, "David sent messengers from the desert to greet our master, who yelled at them.
15 Those men were very good to us. They didn't mistreat us, and we found that nothing was missing wherever we went with them when we were in the fields.
16 They were a wall protecting us day and night as long as we were watching the sheep near them.
17 Now, consider what you should do because our master and his whole household are doomed. And he's such a worthless man that it's useless to talk to him."
