1 Samuel 25:25-27
New Catholic Bible
25 “May my lord not pay attention to this man of Belial, Nabal. He is just like his name. His name means fool, and folly is his companion. But as for me, I, your handmaid, did not see the young men whom you sent.[a]
26 “Now, my lord, as the Lord lives and you live, the Lord has kept you from coming to shed blood and avenging yourself with your own hands. May your enemies and all who seek to harm my lord be like Nabal. 27 Now, may this gift that your handmaid has brought my lord be given to the young men who follow my lord.
