This man’s name was Nabal, and his wife, Abigail, was a sensible and beautiful woman. But Nabal, a descendant of Caleb, was crude and mean in all his dealings.When David heard that Nabal was shearing his sheep,he sent ten of his young men to Carmel with this message for Nabal:“ Peace and prosperity to you, your family, and everything you own!I am told that it is sheep shearing time. While your shepherds stayed among us near Carmel, we never harmed them, and nothing was ever stolen from them.Ask your own men, and they will tell you this is true. So would you be kind to us, since we have come at a time of celebration? Please share any provisions you might have on hand with us and with your friend David.”

Don’t eat with people who are stingy; don’t desire their delicacies.They are always thinking about how much it costs.“ Eat and drink,” they say, but they don’t mean it.You will throw up what little you’ve eaten, and your compliments will be wasted.

I know Nabal is a wicked and ill tempered man; please don’t pay any attention to him. He is a fool, just as his name suggests. But I never even saw the young men you sent.
