1 Samuel 25:5 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Samuel 25:5

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!

7 Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds were with us, and we did not hurt them, ^anor was there anything missing from them all the while they were in Carmel.
