Revised Version 1895
1 Samuel 25:2-8
2And there was a manH376 in MaonH4584, whoseH376 possessions 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.
3NowH802 the nameH8034 of the manH376 was NabalH5037; and the nameH8034 of his wifeH802 AbigailH26: and the womanH802 was of goodH2896 understandingH3820, and of a beautifulH3303 countenance: but the manH376 was churlish and evilH7451 in his doingsH4611; and he was of the house of Caleb.
4And DavidH1732 heardH8085 in the wildernessH4057 that NabalH5037 did shearH1494 his sheepH6629.
5And DavidH1732 sentH7971 tenH6235 youngH5288 menH5288, and DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the youngH5288 menH5288, GetH935 youH7971 upH5927 to CarmelH3760, and goH935 to NabalH5037, and greetH7965 him in my nameH8034:
6and thusH3541 shall ye sayH559 to him that liveth in prosperityH7965, PeaceH7965 be bothH3605 unto thee, and peaceH7965 be to thine houseH1004, and peaceH7965 be unto allH3605 that thou hast.
7And nowH6258 I have heardH8085 that thou hast shearersH1494: thy shepherdsH7462 have nowH6258 been with usH3588, and weH3588 didH834 them noH3808 hurt, neitherH3808 was there aught missingH6485 unto them, allH3605 the whileH1961 they were in CarmelH3760.
8AskH7592 thy youngH5288 menH5288, and they will tellH5046 thee: wherefore letH4994 the youngH5288 menH5288 findH4672 favour in thine eyesH5869; for weH3588 comeH935 in a goodH2896 dayH3117: giveH5414, I prayH4994 thee, whatsoever cometh to thine handH3027, unto thy servantsH5650, and to thy sonH1121 DavidH1732.
