2Now there was a manH376 in 1MaonH4584 whose businessH4639 was in 2CarmelH3760; and the manH376 was veryH3966 3richH1419, and he had threeH7969 thousandH505 sheepH6629 and a thousandH505 goatsH5795. And it cameH1961 about while 4he was shearingH1494 his sheepH6629 in CarmelH3760 3(now the man’sH376 nameH8034 was NabalH5037, and his 5wife’sH802 nameH8034 was AbigailH26. And the womanH802 was 6intelligentH2896H7922 and beautifulH3303 in appearanceH8389, but the manH376 was harshH7186 and evilH7451 in his dealingsH4611, and he was 7a CalebiteH3614), 4that DavidH1732 heardH8085 in the wildernessH4057 that NabalH5037 was shearingH1494 his sheepH6629. 5So DavidH1732 sentH7971 tenH6235 youngH5288 menH5288; and DavidH1732 saidH559 to the youngH5288 menH5288, “GoH5927 up to CarmelH3760, 8visitH935H413 NabalH5037 and greetH7592H7965 him in my nameH8034; 6and thusH3541 you shall sayH559, ‘9Have a long lifeH2416, 10peaceH7965 be to you, and peaceH7965 be to your houseH1004, and peaceH7965 be to allH3605 that you have. 7NowH6258 I have heardH8085 11that you have shearersH1494; nowH6258 your shepherdsH7462 have beenH1961 with us and we have not insultedH3637 them, 12norH3808 have they missedH6485 anythingH3972 allH3605 the daysH3117 they were in CarmelH3760. 8AskH7592 your youngH5288 menH5288 and they will tellH5046 you. Therefore let my youngH5288 menH5288 findH4672 favorH2580 in your eyesH5869, for we have comeH935 on 13a 14festiveH2896 dayH3117. PleaseH4994 giveH5414 whateverH834 you findH4672 at handH3027 to your servantsH5650 and to your sonH1121 DavidH1732.’”
