1 Samuel 25:3-5

The Voice

³ This rich man’s name was Nabal, which means “foolish,” and his wife was Abigail, which means “my father is joy.” She was smart and beautiful, but he was mean-spirited and bad-tempered, an embarrassment to his Calebite tribe.

⁴ From his hiding place in the wilderness, David heard that Nabal was shearing his sheep, ⁵ so David gathered 10 young men to send to Nabal asking for gifts.
