1 Samuel 25:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ Now the name of the man was Nabal: and the name of his wife was Abigail. And she was a prudent and very comely woman, but her husband was churlish, and very bad and ill natured: and he was of the house of Caleb.

⁴ And when David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep,

⁵ He sent ten young men, and said to them: Go up to Carmel, and go to Nabal, and salute him in my name with peace.
