1 Samuel 25:2-8

2Now there was a manH376 in MaonH4584 whose businessH4639 was in CarmelH3760. He was a veryH3966 wealthyH1419 manH376 with a thousandH505 goatsH5795 and threeH7969 thousandH505 sheepH6629, which he wasH1961 shearingH1494 in CarmelH3760. 3HisH376 nameH8034 was NabalH5037, and his wife’sH802 nameH8034 was AbigailH26. She was an intelligentH2896H7922 and beautifulH3303H8389 womanH802, but her husbandH376, a CalebiteH3820, was harshH7186 and evilH7451 in his dealingsH4611H1931.

4While DavidH1732 was in the wildernessH4057, he heardH8085 thatH3588 NabalH5037 was shearingH1494 sheepH6629. 5So DavidH1732 sentH7971 tenH6235 young menH5288 and instructed themH559H1732H5288, “Go upH5927 toH413 NabalH5037 at CarmelH3760. Greet himH7592H7965 in my nameH8034 6and say to himH559, ‘Long life to youH2416, and peaceH7965 to youH859 and to your houseH1004H7965 and to allH3605 thatH834 belongs to youH7965. 7NowH6258 I hearH8085 thatH3588 it is time for shearingH1494. When your shepherdsH7462 wereH1961 with usH5973, we did notH3808 harass themH3637, and nothingH3808H3972 of theirs was missingH6485 the wholeH3605 timeH3117 they wereH1961 in CarmelH3760. 8AskH7592 your young menH5288, and they will tellH5046 you. So let my young menH5288 findH4672 favor with youH2580H5869, forH3588 we have comeH935 onH5921 the dayH3117 of a feastH2896. PleaseH4994 giveH5414 whateverH834 you can spareH4672H3027 to your servantsH5650 and to your sonH1121 DavidH1732.’”
