1 Samuel 25:2-8

2And there was a manH376 in MaonH4584, whose possessionsH4639 were in CarmelH3760; and the manH376 was veryH3966 greatH1419, and he had threeH7969 thousandH505 sheepH6629, and a thousandH505 goatsH5795: and he was shearingH1494 his sheepH6629 in CarmelH3760.1 3Now the nameH8034 of the manH376 was NabalH5037; and the nameH8034 of his wifeH802 AbigailH26: and she was a womanH802 of goodH2896 understandingH7922, and of a beautifulH3303 countenanceH8389: but the manH376 was churlishH7186 and evilH7451 in his doingsH4611; and he was of the house of CalebH3614.

4And DavidH1732 heardH8085 in the wildernessH4057 that NabalH5037 did shearH1494 his sheepH6629. 5And DavidH1732 sent outH7971 tenH6235 young menH5288, and DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the young menH5288, Get you upH5927 to CarmelH3760, and goH935 to NabalH5037, and greetH7965H7592 him in my nameH8034:2 6And thus shall ye sayH559 to him that livethH2416 in prosperity, PeaceH7965 be both to thee, and peaceH7965 be to thine houseH1004, and peaceH7965 be unto all that thou hast. 7And now I have heardH8085 that thou hast shearersH1494: now thy shepherdsH7462 which were with us, we hurtH3637 them not, neither was there oughtH3972 missingH6485 unto them, all the whileH3117 they were in CarmelH3760.3 8AskH7592 thy young menH5288, and they will shewH5046 thee. Wherefore let the young menH5288 findH4672 favourH2580 in thine eyesH5869: for we comeH935 in a goodH2896 dayH3117: giveH5414, I pray thee, whatsoever comethH4672 to thine handH3027 unto thy servantsH5650, and to thy sonH1121 DavidH1732.
