What does 1 Samuel 25:21 mean?

David had just been saying, 'It was pointless for me to protect that guy’s property out in the wilderness. I made sure nothing of his was stolen, and this is how he pays me back—by insulting me.' 1 Samuel 25:21 - Modern Text Bible

(David is angry and feels betrayed by Nabal’s lack of gratitude after David’s protection.)
