And Samuel
died;
and all the Israelites
were gathered together,
and lamented
him, and buried
him in his house
at Ramah.
And David
arose,
and went down
to the wilderness
of Paran.

And there was a man
in Maon,
whose possessions
were in Carmel;
and the man
was very
great,
and he had three
thousand
sheep,
and a thousand
goats:
and he was shearing
his sheep
in Carmel.

Now the name
of the man
was Nabal;
and the name
of his wife

and she was a woman
of good
understanding,
and of a beautiful
countenance:
but the man
was churlish
and evil
in his doings;
and he was of the house of Caleb.

And David
heard
in the wilderness
that Nabal
did shear
his sheep.
And David
sent out
ten
young men,
and David
said
unto the young men,
Get you up
to Carmel,

him in my name:

And thus shall ye say

and peace
be unto all that thou hast.
And now I have heard
that thou hast shearers:
now thy shepherds
which were with us, we hurt
them not, neither was there ought

unto them, all the while
they were in Carmel.

in a good
day:

I pray thee, whatsoever cometh

unto thy servants,
and to thy son
David.
And when David's
young men
came,
they spake
to Nabal
according to all those words
in the name
of David,
and ceased.
And Nabal
answered
David's
servants,
and said,
Who is David?
and who is the son
of Jesse?
there be many
servants
now a days
that break away
every man
from

Shall I then take

So David's

turned

and told
him all those sayings.
And David
said
unto his men,
Gird ye on
every man
his sword.
And they girded on
every man
his sword;
and David
also girded on
his sword:
and there went up
after
David
about four
hundred
men;
and two hundred
abode
by the stuff.

But one
of the young men
told
Abigail,
Nabal's
wife,
saying,
Behold, David
sent
messengers
out of the wilderness
to salute
our master;
and he railed
on them.

But the men
were very

unto us, and we were not hurt,
neither missed
we any thing,
as long as
we were conversant
with them, when we were in the fields:

They were a wall

Now therefore know
and consider
what thou wilt do;
for evil
is determined
against our master,
and against all his household:
for he is such a son
of Belial,
that a man cannot speak
to him.
Then Abigail
made haste,
and took
two hundred
loaves,
and two
bottles
of wine,
and five
sheep
ready dressed,
and five
measures
of parched
corn, and an hundred
clusters of raisins,
and two hundred
cakes
of figs, and laid
them on asses.

And it was so, as she rode

Now David

So

And when Abigail
saw

she hasted,

David

Upon me, my lord,

Let

And Abigail
