1. 1 Samuel 25:9 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

Is there any significance in the fact that David’s men had to wait for a response from Nabal?

1 Samuel 25:9 (ESV)

9 When David’s young men came, they said all this to Nabal in the name of David, and then they waited.

The fact that the text mentions David’s men having to wait for a response suggests that they had a long wait—not a normal wait that would be expected, but abnormally long.
