David and the Wife of Nabal
2 Now there was a man ain Maon whose business was in bCarmel, and the man was very rich. He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. And he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
3 The name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. And she was a woman of good understanding and beautiful appearance; but the man was harsh and evil in his doings. He was of the house of aCaleb.
4 When David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was ashearing his sheep,
5 David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, “Go up to Carmel, go to Nabal, and greet him in my name.
6 And thus you shall say to him who lives in prosperity: a‘Peace be to you, peace to your house, and peace to all that you have!
