LEB(i)
3 The name of the man was Nabal,* and the name of his wife was Abigail.* Now the woman was wise and beautiful, but the man was stubborn and ⌊mean⌋,* and he was as his heart.*
4 David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
5 So David sent ten young men, and David said to the young men, "Go up to Carmel and go to Nabal; ⌊you will greet him in my name⌋.*
6 Then you must say to him, 'Long life to you, and ⌊may it go well with you, with your house, and with all that is yours⌋.*
7 Now I have heard that ⌊you have shearers⌋.* Now while your shepherds were with us, we did not mistreat them, and nothing of theirs was missing, all the days they were in Carmel.
8 Ask your servants* and they will tell you! Let the young men* find favor in your eyes because we have come on a feast day. Please give ⌊whatever you have on hand⌋* for your servants and for your son David."
