1 Samuel 25:5 BBE

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.

⁷  I have had word that you have wool-cutters: now the keepers of your sheep have been with us, and we have done them no evil, and taken nothing of theirs while they were in Carmel.
