1 Samuel 25:4 BBE

²  Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel; he was a great man and had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats: and he was cutting the wool of his sheep in Carmel.

³  Now this man was named Nabal, and his wife's name was Abigail: she was a woman of good sense and pleasing looks: but the man was cruel and evil in his ways; he was of the family of Caleb.

⁴  And David had word in the waste land that Nabal was cutting the wool of his sheep.

⁵  And David sent ten young men, and said to them, Go up to Carmel and go to Nabal, and say kind words to him in my name;

⁶  And say this to my brother, May all be well for you: peace be to you and your house and all you have.
