Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine eyes: for we come in a good day: give, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy servants, and to thy son David.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 25 of 1 Samuel. Samuel’s death marks an important transition in the story and leaves Israel without its main prophetic figure from the previous period. The narrative then introduces Nabal, a wealthy man whose name and behavior are presented in contrast. David, protecting flocks in the wilderness, requests provisions after having treated Nabal’s shepherds well. Nabal’s refusal and insulting words provoke David’s anger. The episode presents a new test of his character, different from Saul’s persecution.

frage deine Jünglinge darum, die werden dir's sagen, und laß die Jünglinge Gnade finden vor deinen Augen; denn wir sind auf einen guten Tag gekommen. Gib deinen Knechten und deinem Sohn David, was deine Hand findet.
Pregunta a tus criados, que ellos te lo dirán. Hallen por tanto estos criados gracia en tus ojos, pues que venimos en buen día: ruégote que des lo que tuvieres a mano a tus siervos, y a tu hijo David.
Pregúntales a tus jóvenes y te lo dirán. Que estos jóvenes encuentren favor ante ti, porque hemos venido en un día de fiesta. Te ruego que des lo que tengas a mano a tus servidores y a tu hijo David”».
Demande-le à tes serviteurs, et ils te le diront. Que ces jeunes gens trouvent donc grâce à tes yeux, puisque nous venons dans un jour de joie. Donne donc, je te prie, à tes serviteurs et à ton fils David ce qui se trouvera sous ta main.
Domandane i tuoi servitori, ed essi te lo diranno. Trovino adunque questi giovani grazia appo te; conciossiachè noi siamo venuti in un buon giorno; deh! da’ a’ tuoi servitori, ed a Davide, tuo figliuolo, ciò che ti verrà a mano.
Pergunta-o aos teus moços, e eles to dirão. Estes moços, pois, achem graça em teus olhos, porque viemos em boa ocasião. Dá, pois, a teus servos e a Davi, teu filho, o que achares à mão.
你問你的僕人,他們會告訴你。願我的僕人在你眼前得歡心,因為我們是在好日子來的。請你隨手分點食物給僕人和你兒子 大衛 。』」
