1 Samuel 25:15

15 But these men have been very good to us; they did us no wrong and nothing of ours was touched while we were with them 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 And David said to his men, Put on your swords, every one of you. And every man put on his sword; and David did the same; and about four hundred men went up with David, and two hundred kept watch over their goods.
14 But one of the young men said to Nabal's wife Abigail, David sent men from the waste land to say kind words to our master, and he gave them a rough answer.
15 But these men have been very good to us; they did us no wrong and nothing of ours was touched while we were with them in the fields:
16 But day and night they were like a wall round us while we were with them, looking after the sheep.
17 So now, give thought to what you are going to do; for evil is in store for our master and all his house: for he is such a good-for-nothing person that it is not possible to say anything to him.
