1 Samuel 25:1-12

And Samuel
<08050>
died
<04191> (8799)_;
and all the Israelites
<03478>
were gathered together
<06908> (8735)_,
and lamented
<05594> (8799)
him, and buried
<06912> (8799)
him in his house
<01004>
at Ramah
<07414>_.
And David
<01732>
arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and went down
<03381> (8799)
to the wilderness
<04057>
of Paran
<06290>_.
And [there was] a man
<0376>
in Maon
<04584>_,
whose possessions
<04639>
[were] in Carmel
<03760>_;
and the man
<0376>
[was] very
<03966>
great
<01419>_,
and he had three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
sheep
<06629>_,
and a thousand
<0505>
goats
<05795>_:
and he was shearing
<01494> (8800)
his sheep
<06629>
in Carmel
<03760>_.
{possessions: or, business}
Now the name
<08034>
of the man
<0376>
[was] Nabal
<05037>_;
and the name
<08034>
of his wife
<0802>
Abigail
<026>_:
and [she was] a woman
<0802>
of good
<02896>
understanding
<07922>_,
and of a beautiful
<03303>
countenance
<08389>_:
but the man
<0376>
[was] churlish
<07186>
and evil
<07451>
in his doings
<04611>_;
and he [was] of the house of Caleb
<03614>_.
And David
<01732>
heard
<08085> (8799)
in the wilderness
<04057>
that Nabal
<05037>
did shear
<01494> (8802)
his sheep
<06629>_.
And David
<01732>
sent out
<07971> (8799)
ten
<06235>
young men
<05288>_,
and David
<01732>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto the young men
<05288>_,
Get you up
<05927> (8798)
to Carmel
<03760>_,
and go
<0935> (8804)
to Nabal
<05037>_,
and greet
<07592> (8804) <07965>
him in my name
<08034>_:
{greet...: Heb. ask him in my name of peace}
And thus shall ye say
<0559> (8804)
to him that liveth
<02416>
[in prosperity], Peace
<07965>
[be] both to thee, and peace
<07965>
[be] to thine house
<01004>_,
and peace
<07965>
[be] unto all that thou hast.
And now I have heard
<08085> (8804)
that thou hast shearers
<01494> (8802)_:
now thy shepherds
<07462> (8802)
which were with us, we hurt
<03637> (8689)
them not, neither was there ought
<03972>
missing
<06485> (8738)
unto them, all the while
<03117>
they were in Carmel
<03760>_.
{hurt: Heb. shamed}
Ask
<07592> (8798)
thy young men
<05288>_,
and they will shew
<05046> (8686)
thee. Wherefore let the young men
<05288>
find
<04672> (8799)
favour
<02580>
in thine eyes
<05869>_:
for we come
<0935> (8804)
in a good
<02896>
day
<03117>_:
give
<05414> (8798)_,
I pray thee, whatsoever cometh
<04672> (8799)
to thine hand
<03027>
unto thy servants
<05650>_,
and to thy son
<01121>
David
<01732>_.
And when David's
<01732>
young men
<05288>
came
<0935> (8799)_,
they spake
<01696> (8762)
to Nabal
<05037>
according to all those words
<01697>
in the name
<08034>
of David
<01732>_,
and ceased
<05117> (8799)_.
{ceased: Heb. rested}
And Nabal
<05037>
answered
<06030> (8799)
David's
<01732>
servants
<05650>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Who [is] David
<01732>_?
and who [is] the son
<01121>
of Jesse
<03448>_?
there be many
<07231> (8804)
servants
<05650>
now a days
<03117>
that break away
<06555> (8693)
every man
<0376>
from
<06440>
his master
<0113>_.
Shall I then take
<03947> (8804)
my bread
<03899>_,
and my water
<04325>_,
and my flesh
<02878>
that I have killed
<02873> (8804)
for my shearers
<01494> (8802)_,
and give
<05414> (8804)
[it] unto men
<0582>_,
whom I know
<03045> (8804)
not whence they [be]? {flesh: Heb. slaughter}
So David's
<01732>
young men
<05288>
turned
<02015> (8799)
their way
<01870>_,
and went again
<07725> (8799)_,
and came
<0935> (8799)
and told
<05046> (8686)
him all those sayings
<01697>_.
