English Standard Version Anglicised
10 And Nabal answered David's servants, (A)“Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? (B)There are many servants these days who are breaking away from their masters. 11 Shall I take (C)my bread and my water and my meat that I have killed for my shearers and give it to (D)men who come from I do not know where?” 12 So David's young men turned away and came back and told him all this. 13 And David said to his men, “Every man strap on his sword!” And every man of them strapped on his sword. David also strapped on his sword. And (E)about four hundred men went up after David, (F)while two hundred (G)remained with the baggage.

New International Version
10 Nabal answered David’s servants, “Who(A) is this David? Who is this son of Jesse? Many servants are breaking away from their masters these days. 11 Why should I take my bread(B) and water, and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give it to men coming from who knows where?”
12 David’s men turned around and went back. When they arrived, they reported every word. 13 David said to his men(C), “Each of you strap on your sword!” So they did, and David strapped his on as well. About four hundred men went(D) up with David, while two hundred stayed with the supplies.(E)
1 Kings 12:13-16
English Standard Version Anglicised
13 And the king answered the people harshly, and forsaking the counsel that the old men had given him, 14 he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, (A)“My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke. My father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions.” 15 So the king did not listen to the people, for (B)it was a turn of affairs brought about by the Lord that he might fulfil his word, which (C)the Lord spoke by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
The Kingdom Divided
16 And when all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, “What portion do we have in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. (D)To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, David.” So Israel went to their tents.

1 Kings 12:13-16
New International Version
13 The king answered the people harshly. Rejecting the advice given him by the elders, 14 he followed the advice of the young men and said, “My father made your yoke heavy; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged(A) you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.” 15 So the king did not listen to the people, for this turn of events was from the Lord,(B) to fulfill the word the Lord had spoken to Jeroboam son of Nebat through Ahijah(C) the Shilonite.
16 When all Israel saw that the king refused to listen to them, they answered the king:
“What share(D) do we have in David,
what part in Jesse’s son?
To your tents, Israel!(E)
Look after your own house, David!”
So the Israelites went home.(F)
