1 Samuel 25:2-8

2And there wasH1961 a manH376 in MaonH4584, whose possessions wereH1961 in CarmelH3760; and the manH376 wasH1961 veryH3966 greatH1419, and he had threeH7969 thousandH505 sheepH6629, and a thousandH505 goatsH5795: and he wasH1961 shearingH1494 his sheepH6629 in CarmelH3760. 3Now the nameH8034 of the manH376 was NabalH5037; and the nameH8034 of his wifeH802 AbigailH26; and the womanH802 was of goodH2896 understanding, and of a beautifulH3303 countenance: but the manH376 was churlish and evilH7451 in his doings; and he was of the house of Caleb. 4And DavidH1732 heardH8085 in the wildernessH4057 that NabalH5037 was shearingH1494 his sheepH6629. 5And DavidH1732 sentH7971 tenH6235 youngH5288 menH5288, and DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the youngH5288 menH5288, Get you up to CarmelH3760, and goH935 to NabalH5037, and greet him in my nameH8034: 6and thusH3541 shall ye sayH559 to him that liveth in prosperity, PeaceH7965 be unto thee, and peaceH7965 be to thy houseH1004, and peaceH7965 be unto all that thou hast. 7And nowH6258 I have heardH8085 that thou hast shearersH1494: thy shepherdsH7462 have nowH6258 beenH1961 with us, and we did them no hurt, neither wasH1961 there aught missingH6485 unto them, all the while they were in CarmelH3760. 8AskH7592 thy youngH5288 menH5288, and they will tellH5046 thee: wherefore let the youngH5288 menH5288 findH4672 favorH2580 in thine eyesH5869; for we comeH935 in a goodH2896 dayH3117: giveH5414, I pray thee, whatsoever cometh to thy handH3027, unto thy servantsH5650, and to thy sonH1121 DavidH1732.
