1 Samuel 25:2-8
2And there wasH1961 a manH376 at MaonH4584, whose business wasH1961 at CarmelH3760; and the manH376 wasH1961 veryH3966 greatH1419, and he had threeH7969 thousandH505 sheepH6629 and a thousandH505 goatsH5795; and he wasH1961 shearingH1494 his sheepH6629 at CarmelH3760.
3And 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 a Calebite.
4And DavidH1732 heardH8085 in the wildernessH4057 that NabalH5037 was shearingH1494 his sheepH6629.
5Then DavidH1732 sentH7971 out tenH6235 youngH5288 menH5288; and DavidH1732 saidH559 to the youngH5288 menH5288, GoH935 up to CarmelH3760, and goH935 to NabalH5037, and greet him in my nameH8034.
6And thusH3541 shall ye sayH559: Long lifeH2416 [to thee]! and peaceH7965 be to thee, and peaceH7965 be to thy houseH1004, and peaceH7965 be to all that thou hast!
7And nowH6258 I have heardH8085 that thou hast shearersH1494; nowH6258 thy shepherdsH7462 who were with us, we hurt them not, neither wasH1961 there aught missedH6485 by them, all the while they were in CarmelH3760.
8AskH7592 thy youngH5288 menH5288, and they will tellH5046 thee. Therefore let the youngH5288 menH5288 findH4672 favour in thine eyesH5869; for we comeH935 in a goodH2896 dayH3117: giveH5414, I pray thee, what thy handH3027 may findH4672 to thy servantsH5650, and to thy sonH1121 DavidH1732.
